Ride through jaw-dropping balcony roads like Combe Laval, dramatically carved into towering limestone cliffs above deep alpine gorges. The Vercors Plateau offers one of France’s most exhilarating cycling experiences, with narrow ledges, tunnels, and hairpin climbs that test your nerve and skill. Expect sweeping views, minimal traffic, and pure adrenaline. This route is a dream for experienced road cyclists who seek thrilling exposure, vertical drama, and unforgettable panoramas in a wild and lesser-known corner of the French Alps.
