Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Guillestre do Barcelonnette

Get ready for a true Alpine adventure! This route takes you from the charming mountain town of Guillestre all the way to Barcelonnette, spanning just over 60 kilometers through the stunning French Alps. Both towns are gateways to the great outdoors—Guillestre sits at the confluence of the Guil and Durance rivers, surrounded by dramatic peaks, while Barcelonnette, with its quirky Mexican villas, is the heart of the Ubaye Valley.

The ride packs in some serious climbing (over 2,800 meters of ascent!), so be prepared for switchbacks, breathtaking views, and the thrill of high-altitude biking—your highest point hits above 2,100 meters. The mix of surfaces (expect paved roads, gravel, and tracks) and mostly quiet roads means you’ll have plenty of peace and epic vistas. It’s a physically demanding ride, but the scenery, isolation, and sense of accomplishment are absolutely worth it.

Once you roll into Barcelonnette, treat yourself to a pastry and soak up the festive Alpine atmosphere. This route is perfect for seasoned cyclists looking for a challenge—and those who love their landscapes rugged and unspoiled!
