Ascent to Bonson

Highlight • Other

This beautiful climb or descent – it depends – offers views of the village of Bonson and the Var valley. A real pleasure to climb or descend.

Bonson Village

Highlight • Settlement

This typical little village in the hinterland of Nice overlooks the Var and Estéron valleys.

It would be a shame not to visit the religious building in the village. The Saint Benoit church has two magnificent altarpieces dating from the Middle Ages. A well hidden treasure.

Mont Vial

Highlight • Summit

With the Montagne de Cheiron, this mountain is a rare peak that stands out from time to time. Accessible by bike thanks to the service road of the summit antennas, it is also possible to reach the summit on foot.

Mont Vial

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Although Mont Vial can seem ubiquitous, cyclists have to travel far into the backcountry to find the turning, which is tucked away somewhere between Toudon and Tourette-du-Chateau. Those who search will be rewarded, however, with a deserted, small, irregularly surfaced scrawl of switchbacks up the rocky mountain face. Perfection, in our eyes at least.

Mont Vial is part of our Montagnes à la Carte series, head over to bit.ly/3eCNiEJ and claim your badge if you rode this classic.

Highlight • Settlement

Aiguille de la Grande Sassière

Highlight • Other

We stayed at the Hotel La Tovière, rode our mountain bikes to Lac de Saut and then climbed to the summit. We left the bikes behind on the way because large parts were still covered in snow even in July. But climbing the Grande Sassière is still recommended!
