36,45 km cycling route from Le Vigan to Blandas
This beautiful stage is steep and challenging, guiding you through a mix of forests and the typical open landscapes of the Causses (limestone plateaux). It also takes you to a Grand Site de France, the Cirque de Navacelles, a staggering natural bowl of land formed by a meander, and the highlight on this stage. Additionally, the Blandas Belvederes, located at the heart of a protected natural zone covering 46 hectares, offer several different, stunning views down onto the Cirque de Navacelles and the Gorges de la Vis.
Elevation of the stage
500 m 917 m
Once you’ve crossed the town of Le Vigan via the riverside path, take on the physically demanding climb to the Col du Perras, going via a mix of minor roads, forest tracks and paths. Take in the great views. After the Col des Aires, you ride to Montardier along a series of minor roads and forest tracks. Once arrived at Montardier, you’ve completed the hardest part of the stage; the rest is relatively flat up to Blandas. You can do return trips to the four belvederes here, to admire the different, staggering views over the Cirque de Navacelles and Gorges de la Vis.
