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.
