All stages on La Vélodyssée, the Atlantic Cycling Route
Mûr-de-Bretagne / Pontivy

Designated track and very steep descent into the Guerlédan dam towards Pontivy. Here the Blavet is no longer navigable. The steep-sided valley, imposing lock keepers’ buildings and lush vegetation, give this stage of La Vélodyssée an enchanting feel.
