This half day round tour starts in Kelcyre, one of the “gateways” into the Permet valley. On a modern asphalt road you ride into the “Gorge of Kelycre”, a spectacular canyon with some restaurants and an overflowing water spring. You change the side of the valley where the spring & restaurants are over a bridge, from where a 4×4 track takes you back towards Kelcyre. But soon after this track starts to climb, and what follows is actually a rather steep (but rideable) uphill. In a second and last climb you maybe want to push for short sections. Wonderful views over the whole valley always included, plus you get rewarded with a just as steep downhill to the main road. Immediately at the intersection, you`ll find a local artisan producing cheese in an old bunker! Worth sampling and buying some. After that, enjoy a relaxing roll-out back to the starting point (Kelcyre).
Highlights: Gorge of Kelcyre with spring, views over the whole valley, cheese-bunker
Water / Food/ Accommodation: You`ll find no water / food along the route, so equip yourself before starting.
