Tourrette-Levens Village

Highlight • Settlement

A veritable hilltop village just 15 kilometers from Nice, Tourrette-Levens still has a tower of its medieval castle.

Its dominant position now allows visitors to enjoy an exceptional panorama both on the sea side and on the mountain side.

A true authentic village focused on arts and culture, the town is home to three free museums to discover in the heart of the old village.

The Vésubie gorges

Highlight (Segment) • Other

The Gorges de la Vésubie are deeply cut into the Maritime Alps and are among the most beautiful gorges in this region. The road builders were kind enough to provide us not only with the valley road, but also with a luxurious, well-maintained road stretching from the plateau near Levens to Béringuier. Breathtaking views into the depths, exposed sections of road in the limestone cliffs, tunnels, and a varied route. This section offers everything a road cyclist's heart desires… including occasional sightings of professional teams on the way to the Col du Turini.

Col à Utelle

Highlight • Other

This highlight is not the place Utelle itself, but the immediately adjacent, nameless passport. This would have earned a name and a passport. It combines the Tinée with the Vésubie valley and is on the one hand sporty demanding and on the other hand of exceptional scenic beauty. Since it is completely insignificant in terms of traffic, the road is practically free of traffic and probably attracts only occasionally people who make a pilgrimage to the outgoing from the pass point vantage point and sanctuary Madone d'Utelle.
The pass shows two very different faces. From the Vésubie valley you will find a lovely, initially by olive groves leading climb with many, beautifully built serpentine. The slope is absolutely regular and you climb easily with always better views over the Vésubie valley.
From the Tinée Valley you first drive through the artfully built serpentine passage (see specially created highlight) and then get to La Tour in a high-lying side valley. This is of breathtaking, wild beauty and absolutely lonely and far from any civilization. It goes flat and twice through intermediate runs with rough slopes. The final climb has it in itself and climbs with nasty ramps to the tunnel.
At the pass you should absolutely take the Stichstrasse to Madone d'Utelle under the wheels.

Madonna of Utelle

Highlight • Other

This has long been a place of pilgrimage and healing, but one that for cyclists has remained a well-kept secret – beloved of local riders… until recently. In March 2016, the penultimate stage of Paris-Nice finished on the summit, bringing the views from this holy site to a wider audience.

Madone d'Utelle is part of our Montagnes à la Carte series, head over to bit.ly/3ziK156 and claim your badge if you rode this classic.

Saut des Français Viewpoint

Highlight • Other

On the road between Nice and Saint-Martin-Vésubie, perched on a cliff side, is this peak of more than 300m above the river Vésubie. Once a dramatic site of the war between France and Italy where French prisoners were rushed into the void, today it is an impressive view.
