Riding in the heart of the Ardèche
Itinerary details
A two- or three-day itinerary, it's a unique combination of Dolce Via, ViaRhôna and voie douce de la Payre.
Leaving Privas, you'll take to the heights along the Route des Dragonnades, to enjoy the Eyrieux and Rhône valleys.
After a 15km climb to the Boutières region, you’ll be able to admire magnificent panoramic views of the Ardèche mountains, the Rhône valley, the Vercors and beyond. Then descend to the Eyrieux valley. Enjoy the gentle Dolce Via.
Joining La Voulte, the ViaRhôna awaits you to take you along the Rhône to Le Pouzin. From there, you’ll head back up to Privas via the Payre valley, following the route of the old railroad line, with its many tunnels, viaducts, bridges, footbridges and hydraulic structures…
