Cycling day trip from Jausiers to Saint-Martin-Vésubie

Ready for an epic ride? This route takes you from the charming alpine village of Jausiers, tucked in the Ubaye Valley, to the picturesque mountain town of Saint-Martin-Vésubie, known as the "Nice of the Alps." You'll climb over 5,900 meters and descend over 6,200 meters across roughly 106 km—a true test for the legs (and lungs!).

Expect scenery that turns heads: think mountain passes, wildflower-studded meadows, and valleys that drop away dramatically below you. You’ll likely tackle sections of the famous Cime de la Bonette, the highest paved road in France at over 2,700 meters. The route mixes it up with paved roads, gravel paths, and mountain tracks, so you’ll want a bike ready for anything and a taste for adventure.

Finish in Saint-Martin-Vésubie, where you can treat yourself in this gateway to the Mercantour National Park. This isn’t just a ride—it’s a classic high-alpine adventure!
