The Col d'Eze - Parc de la Grande Corniche loop immerses you in a dreamlike coastal landscape, offering uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean, including the bays of Villefranche and Cap Ferrat. The route winds along rocky slopes and passes through the stunning medieval village of Eze, perched high above the road. It's a road cycling experience that combines the challenge of the climb with the reward of spectacular panoramas, ideal for those seeking a route with memorable vistas.
This road cycling route is of moderate difficulty, covering 29.1 kilometers with an elevation gain of 595 meters, which will take you approximately 1 hour and 33 minutes. The ascent to Col d'Eze is the main challenge, featuring demanding sections that will test your legs. The roads are generally in excellent condition, but we recommend choosing a clear day to fully enjoy the views that stretch all the way to Niza and Mónaco.
Col d'Eze is famous in the cycling world, having been a decisive stage in races like París-Niza and the Tour de Francia, and is a popular training ground for professionals. The historic Grande Corniche, built by Napoleón over an ancient Roman road, is a bold engineering feat that clings to the rocks, offering a unique combination of history and breathtaking views.
