Lacettes of Castillon

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Very beautiful section of the climb to the Col de Castillon with numerous hairpin bends that make the road winding and panoramic. The climb from Menton is about 12 kilometers long with a difference in altitude of 650 metres, some sections are a little steep but the average always remains around 5-6%. When going downhill, pay attention to traffic on the narrow hairpin bends.

Castillon Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Fantastically beautiful pass road without traffic, as this runs mostly on the new road.

Attention: the new road is closed to cyclists, because at the top of the pass there is a 1km long, single-lane tunnel. This highlight is located on the old road that runs exactly over the tunnel of the new road. Therefore it may happen that komoot sends you on the new road. Be sure to check before driving!

Braus Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

People have been stopping to marvel at this view since the col’s famous switchbacks were constructed in the early 20th century. Take your time up the ascent and you will admire the olive groves, and maybe spy the remnants of the old Route Royale, the salt road that linked Nice and the coast to Piedmont and the Dukes of Savoy in Turin.

Col de Braus is part of our Montagnes à la Carte series, head over to bit.ly/2UvpAmH and claim your badge if you rode this classic.

The village, perched on a hilltop, greets you with breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and mountains. As you approach, you'll discover a beautiful mix of narrow, winding roads and lush greenery, with a final tunnel approach through the rocky cliffs adding a touch of enchantment to your arrival.

Old Town, La Turbie

Highlight • Historical Site

La Turbie is historically located on a strategic crossing point. Past events have left admirable testimonies in the commune: at the foot of the Trophy, the medieval village with its picturesque cobbled streets and beautiful stone houses; outside the ramparts, the magnificent baroque Saint-Michel church (18th century), the Roman remains, the fountains…

It starts from Menton immediately uphill Rue de Fossan and for 30 km all uphill to Col de Braus ... then a bit of rest with a long descent almost to Le Grave, from here 8.5 km of really hard climb with several points at 10% and an average of 8/9% to get to Peille ... then false floor up …
