On this tour, you will explore the countryside around Merlines before going down to the banks of the Chavanon.
This circuit is part of the FFVélo Haute-Corrèze mountain bike base, the largest mountain biking area in France with 1000 km of marked circuits. For the more sporty, it is possible to follow the "Le Ruisseau des Gioux" circuit (classified red: difficult), see the "Les Gorges du Chavanon circuit" (classified red: sporty). This easy-going circuit has only two more technical passages with the descent and then the ascent to the level of the Chavanon. A very pleasant route, ideal for a family outing.

2 points of interest

  • Panorama

    Puy de Sancy

    This hike will offer you a remarkable view of the highest volcano in metropolitan France, the Puy de Sancy. At 1,885 metres above sea level, this summit is the highest point of the Massif Central. The two streams, the Dore and the Dogne, originate there, and their confluence forms the Dordogne.
  • River

    The Chavanon

    A natural boundary between the Corrèze and the Puy de Dôme, the Chavanon is born from the confluence of two streams, the Ramade and the Méouzette.
    It continues its course through gorges then flows into the Dordogne, upstream of the Bort-les-Orgues dam reservoir.
    Classified Natura 2000 along its entire course, it is a river famous for its trout. It should be noted that one of the arches of the bridge was reserved for the supply channel of the old rock mill.
