If I would live in this region, that Col de Brause would be definitely my training ride.

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 famous pins that make the Col de Braus so famous.
A 15% finish and a balcony overlooking the stream with a breathtaking sea view.

Nice

Highlight • Viewpoint

I recommend going up from old Nice and down to the port. Very nice point of view with benches in the shade. Slightly further towards Mont Boron, there is a fountain with drinking water.
