Massif Central 2009 - Tour 5 - Les Gorges d'Allier

A cycling route starting in Langeac, Auvergne-Rh么ne-Alpes, France.
OverviewAbout this route

Route 87 km and 1630 meters of elevation (measured with Edge 305); from St. Arcons back on the same route to Langeac.

Pretty nice, but unfortunately, for long stretches, you are not by the Allier, the valley is so narrow in places that no road has fit in. Nevertheless, there is also a train line (Clermont Ferrand - Nimes) that operates there. Unfortunately, the train schedules did not match our tour plan, because otherwise, bike and train are an excellent combination. Optimal for that: the Rhaetian Railway in Switzerland).

Particularly beautiful sections are St. Arcons - Prades and St. Privat d'Allier - Le Pont d'Alleyras.
