Fantastically beautiful pass road without traffic, as this runs mostly on the new road.

Attention: the new road is closed to cyclists, because at the top of the pass there is a 1km long, single-lane tunnel. This highlight is located on the old road that runs exactly over the tunnel of the new road. Therefore it may happen that komoot sends you on the new road. Be sure to check before driving!

Col de Castillon via the old pass road

Highlight (Segment) • Other

A quiet and little sought after pass near the summit thanks to the tunnel not accessible by bike. The Col de Castillon is 12 km long from Menton with an elevation gain of 649 m and an average gradient of 5.3%.

Sospel village and the Old Bridge (Pont-Vieux)

Highlight • Settlement

In Sospel, you are already in Italy!

You will discover very pretty streets and alleys with colorful houses where it is good to stroll, a superb Baroque-style cathedral, but also the Pont-Vieux, as well as several fortifications of the Maginot line still standing.

Hairpin bends of Notre-Dame de la Ménour

Highlight (Segment) • Religious Site

Just after passing near Notre-Dame de la Ménour, a sanctuary dating from the 12th century, the road takes the form of a very beautiful serpentine with numerous hairpin turns. It's a pure delight for cyclists. Don't hesitate, before setting off, to stop at the chapel which overlooks the Gorges du Piaon from a height of 780 meters.
