Ventimiglia Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Ventimiglia is a seaside town along the Ligurian coast a few kilometers from the border with France. It is famous for its medieval historic center with the cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. I also recommend a walk along the seafront, to enjoy a splendid view of the bay and the French Riviera. In the surroundings of the city, the botanical gardens of Villa Hanbury and the archaeological site of Albintimilium are interesting, with the remains of a theater and Roman baths.

Menton

Highlight • Other

Menton is a truly magnificent city which has a particular microclimate, even better than that of Nice. The city is sheltered by the mountains which literally fall at the feet of the city and protect it. Its old town is one of the most beautiful on the Mediterranean coast. In winter, the lemon festival gives it even more color. She already has a lot! Menton is located on the border with Italy. People from Menton often go shopping in Ventimiglia, the nearest Italian town which is just over the border. There is an institution in Menton, these are the jams of the Herbin house. I invite you to taste them, by taking a tour of their store.

Lacettes of Castillon

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Very beautiful section of the climb to the Col de Castillon with numerous hairpin bends that make the road winding and panoramic. The climb from Menton is about 12 kilometers long with a difference in altitude of 650 metres, some sections are a little steep but the average always remains around 5-6%. When going downhill, pay attention to traffic on the narrow hairpin bends.

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!
