トゥルヌフォール周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Col Saint Martin (el. 1500 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Alps in the department of Alpes-Maritimes in France.[1] It is traversed by the D-2205 highway.[2] The place has been crossed at the Tour de France road cycling race in 1973, 1975 and 2020, as well as at multiple editions of the Paris-Nice.

Beautiful route with great views and no traffic. Highly recommended.

Accessible by gravel (40mm tyres) or by mountain bike, the summit of Mont Férion (1412m) will be your finish line if you are a cyclist in full climb. Your reward will be the panoramic view: from the Alps and the Mercantour, to the Mediterranean, passing through the Paillon valley and the Var valley. You will find a watchtower which serves as a lookout to protect the massifs against fire and even houses a small refuge on the ground floor of the tower with a fireplace to warm walkers in difficulty.

It's really a pass that I recommend to all nature lovers. The view at the top is truly breathtaking.

La Madone d'Utelle is a sanctuary and place of pilgrimage which is used all year round as a place of worship, although it is at an altitude of 1,194 meters and offers stunning views of the Mercantour National Park and the Mediterranean Sea.

Mont Férion (1,412 m) dominates the village of Levens. This is the highest point of the Férion range. The building at the top is a necessary DFCI watchtower due to the fire tendency in the area.

This pass, at an altitude of 1,503 metres, provides a link between the Tinée and Vésubie valleys.

This has long been a place of pilgrimage and healing, but one that for cyclists has remained a well-kept secret – beloved of local riders… until recently. In March 2016, the penultimate stage of Paris-Nice finished on the summit, bringing the views from this holy site to a wider audience.
