Vélorail des Gorges du Doux, Rail bike circuit in Gorges du Doux at Boucieu-le-Roi, France
The Gorges du Doux Velorail offers four different routes on railroad tracks through steep slopes and tunnels of the Doux Valley in Ardèche.
This attraction operates on the Vivarais Railway, a 19th-century rail line that connected the Rhône Valley to the Ardèche mountains for transportation and commerce.
Visitors experience French railway heritage while crossing engineering structures that represent significant achievements in industrial architecture of the region.
The vehicles accommodate five people with two pedalers in front and three passengers in back, requiring participants to be at least 1.40 meters tall to pedal.
The Les Étroits route passes through a 265-meter-long tunnel and follows tracks that cling to cliff edges directly above the gorges.

Breathing in Ardèche means feeling the warm stone, the wind descending from the gorges, and the clear water stretching between the cliffs. Here, nature tells everything: caves hold traces of the earliest artists, villages nestle against the rocks, and bridges have connected the shores for centuries. Ardèche is not just a landscape; it’s an experience. We walk, climb, pedal, and marvel at the shapes water has carved into the stone. The Pont d’Arc, the Chauvet Cave, the deep gorges, the twisted woods of Païolive—all exude a raw, honest beauty. Between hikes, a hot chocolate in Tain, a castle visit, or a swim remind us that the real wealth here is the time we take.
