Cycling in the Ardèche

Cycling in the Ardèche means enjoying safe, traffic-free cycling routes such as the Via Ardèche, the ViaRhôna and the Dolce Via.

It also means taking on a sporting challenge on a mountain bike along the Grande Traversée de l’Ardèche MTB route or riding along one of the famous roads of the Ardéchoise cycling event.

For a more leisurely experience, set off for a day along the quiet country roads and explore the departmental e-bike loops.

Whether you're planning a weekend getaway, a day trip or a multi-day cycling holiday, everyone can enjoy a relaxing ride through the Ardèche, with plenty of opportunities to stop for a swim or enjoy a picnic!
