N°33 Les bords de Loire

Elevation : 320m
Départ devant la mairie, 31 rue de la marelle, 42590 Pinay

Description

Take care on the two short but fairly technical descents.
The route leaves the village of Pinay along a relatively flat stretch to Rives, before descending to the banks of the River Loire and following it to La Digue. A dam built in 1712 once stood here to regulate the river’s turbulent flow. After leaving the riverbank, the route begins a substantial climb, offering magnificent panoramic views stretching from the Matagrin Tower to the Forez mountains. The final section crosses a plateau with no major changes in elevation.
