An unforgettable circuit, through the Ankaratra mountain range. You will ride at more than 2500m altitude, near the 3rd summit of Madagascar "Tsiafajavona" which peaks at 2640m.
The departure will be from Ambatolampy, before daybreak because the day promises to be long... After crossing the forest station of Mankatompo you will reach an altitude of 2000m. An alternation of technical passage and portage will then begin. Mountain springs near the summit will allow you to refuel. After the summit, you will find more rolling passages, mostly descending. The feeling of wide open spaces when you take certain mountain ridges will be there. At the end of the day you will reach Arivonimano airport, which was Antananarivo airport several decades ago.
