At the height of the Dogana, a cycle path begins, first on the side of the road, then on the very wide sidewalk, which ends under the old town. So you can pedal calmly looking around, what you will see is splendid.

Menton

Highlight • Settlement

Menton is a truly magnificent city with a particular microclimate, even better than that of Nice. The city is sheltered by the mountains that 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. It already has a lot! Menton is located on the border with Italy. The people of Menton often go shopping in Ventimiglia, the nearest Italian town just across the border. There is an institution in Menton, which is the jams from the Herbin house. I invite you to taste them by visiting their shop.

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!

Historic town of Sospel, in the heart of the Bévéra valley, at the gates of the Mercantour National Park. Very pretty houses with picturesque colored facades.

Roya River

Highlight • River

The Swan Lake is an artificial water reservoir formed on the Roya River, very popular with kayakers. It crosses the small typical mountain village of Breil-sur-Roya, giving it a lot of charm!

Beautiful trip, it's a shame that storm Alex took away a piece of the road before Airole, so it was mandatory to enter the tunnel...no cars passed through, as the Tent is still closed
