Vélorail of the Gorges du Doux

Fill up on sensations with the Vélorail of the Gorges du Doux.
This unusual activity offers a 360° panorama in the heart of nature.
Follow the rails and pedal for 8, 12 or 20 km to discover inaccessible landscapes.

From Easter to All Saints' Day, departing from Boucieu le Roi, the Vélorail des Gorges du Doux takes you for a fun and friendly outdoor activity. Board carts operated by a set of pedals on the historic line of the Chemin de Fer du Vivarais.

Four routes are offered:
Les Châtaigniers: ideal for beginners, this 8-kilometer course allows you to practice an outdoor activity along the rails. Crossing viaducts and panoramic views of the villages of the upper Doux valley punctuate the adventure! (1 hour 45 minutes of round trip activity, with departure by railcar and return by rail bike)

Les Etroits: this 12-kilometer route provides access to the heart of the Gorges du Doux, where the river weaves with difficulty between the rocks. The railway line hangs on the side of a cliff, on a succession of cut stone retaining walls, and crosses a 265 meter long tunnel (2 hours of round trip activity, with departure by rail bike and return by rail car).

Les Viaducs: more sporty than that of Les Etroits, this 12-kilometer route opens the doors to the Monts d'Ardèche Regional Natural Park by crossing the 45th parallel.
(2h30 round trip activity, with departure by railcar and return by railbike).

The Great Adventure: for even more fun, this formula offers 20 kilometers of discovery in the heart of nature, bringing together the Châtaigniers and Etroits routes. Attention thrill-seekers! (4 hours of round trip activity, with intermediate comfort break)

Vélorails are equipped with 5 seats that can accommodate 2 pedalers at the front and up to 3 passengers at the rear. To pedal, people must be over 1,40 m tall and children must be accompanied by an adult, necessarily at the front. For safety reasons, children under 9 kg are not allowed on our railbikes.
