Excursión ciclista de un día de Saint-Martin-Vésubie a Niza

Ready for an epic cycling adventure? Start in the enchanting alpine village of Saint-Martin-Vésubie, perched at over 900 meters and known as the “Nice of the Alps,” where mountain air and stone houses set the mood for the journey. From here, you’ll roll out on a challenging but spectacular descent all the way to the vibrant city of Nice on the French Riviera.

This ride is not for the faint of heart—with over 100 kilometers of road, tracks, and a sizeable amount of gravel, you'll tackle serious elevation changes (over 6,000 meters up and even more down!). The route is varied: mostly quiet mountain roads and forest tracks, with some rough stretches keeping things interesting. The high point reaches nearly 1,800 meters, so expect jaw-dropping mountain views before you gradually make your way towards sea level.

When you finally hit Nice, reward yourself with a dip in the Mediterranean or a stroll along the iconic Promenade des Anglais. From mountain solitude to lively seaside, this ride is a true transition from Alps to Riviera. Bring snacks, extra tubes, and a camera—you’ll want to remember this one!
