Cycling day trip from Puget-Théniers to Saint-Martin-Vésubie

Get ready to embark on an epic cycling adventure from the charming village of Puget-Théniers to the picturesque mountain resort of Saint-Martin-Vésubie. This route covers a substantial distance of 82.3 kilometers, blending a whole lot of excitement with breathtaking natural beauty.

Your journey begins in Puget-Théniers, a lovely spot nestled in the Alpes-Maritimes, known for its beautiful views and history dating back to Roman times. From here, you’ll gradually ascend towards the mighty heights, gaining a whopping 6100 meters, which promises rewarding vistas but could demand some pedal power and endurance. There's a bit of everything on this ride: around two-thirds of the path is missing surfaced, so gear up for a rustic adventure! There’s some challenging gravel, a scattering of easy-going asphalt, but it’s all worth it as you crunch through the serene tracks and savor the sparse busy roads.

End your journey in Saint-Martin-Vésubie, a charming village often dubbed the ‘Nice of the Alps’ due to its stunning landscapes. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just enjoy a good ride, this route offers a memorable cross-section of the natural splendor this part of France has to offer. Don't forget your camera!
