Excursión ciclista de un día de Puget-Théniers a Saint-Martin-Vésubie

Get ready for an epic ride from Puget-Théniers to Saint-Martin-Vésubie! Starting in Puget-Théniers, a charming village in the Alpes-Maritimes, you’ll climb deep into the heart of the mountains on a route that’s anything but flat—think over 6000 meters of climbing! The journey is packed with adventure: expect a mix of gravel, unpaved paths, and just enough smooth asphalt to catch your breath before the next ascent.

You’ll snake your way through quiet valley roads, forested tracks, and even tackle some busier stretches. The scenery along the way is stunning, with gorges and alpine panoramas as your backdrop. Keep an eye on your tires, though—about a third of the ride is on tracks, and gravel makes up a good chunk of the surface.

Your ride ends in Saint-Martin-Vésubie, a picturesque gateway to the Mercantour National Park, beloved by hikers, cyclists, and winter sports enthusiasts. This ride is a tough one, but if you’re after wild scenery and a real sense of accomplishment, this route delivers. Don’t forget to snap some photos at the summit points!
