Braus Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

People have been stopping to marvel at this view since the col’s famous switchbacks were constructed in the early 20th century. Take your time up the ascent and you will admire the olive groves, and maybe spy the remnants of the old Route Royale, the salt road that linked Nice and the coast to Piedmont and the Dukes of Savoy in Turin.

Col de Braus is part of our Montagnes à la Carte series, head over to bit.ly/2UvpAmH and claim your badge if you rode this classic.

This is not the Col de Braus, but the route from the Col St Jean to the Col de Castillon

Castillon Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

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!
