Col de la Cize – Rundtour
Description
You leave the Domaine du Frigoulet bike hotel via its home trails before tackling a challenging single trail up to the Col de la Cize. Only technically and physically strong riders can ride the entire two-kilometre climb. From the pass to the top of the ridge, the ascent is undulating, but the view over the entire region rewards the effort. On a trail and later on a road, you reach an abandoned village known as a ghost village. On the way through vineyards, you pass a spring and reach a former railroad line after Grospierre. This now rides as a cycle path through the Ardèche department.
For the ascent to Sampzon, you soon leave the cycle path again and take a break at the viewpoint by the striking transmission tower. The culmination point is reached after a steep trail ascent in some sections and offers a view of the whole of the south of France. You return to the starting point at the Domaine du Frigoulet via the Nougat Trail, a varied single trail. This was created by the Domaine du Frigoulet team over twenty years ago as the first of countless trails, but has lost none of its appeal.

A beautiful, scenic, and challenging ride with plenty of trails, including some uphill sections. Without an e-bike, however, most riders will have to push their bikes a bit on the climb. The downhill trails are rarely steeper than S2.
