トゥエール・シュル・ヴァールの峠・トップ6

Nice view, but a little further, no more path, erosion has done its work. The mountain is steep and very slippery, it is no longer really passable (Sept 2024). I hope that the path will be repaired one day, because the landscapes are magnificent and it is frustrating to have to turn around.

This pass of 1,099 meters in altitude, of medium difficulty, will offer you beautiful views.

The Col de Vé Gautier is 26.6 km long with a total drop of 1019 m. The average gradient of the climb is 3.7% with steep sections of 8%.

Gateway to the Pre-Alps, from the Var valley. Superb view of the foothills of the Mercantour massif and the Var Valley.

The Col de St Raphael from Puget Theniers is 8km long with 465m of elevation gain. The average slope is 4.8%.

Very nice climb. Lots of gravel on the descent. On the other hand, the last 1.5 km (before the bridge) are impassable by road bike!

Although Mont Vial can seem ubiquitous, cyclists have to travel far into the backcountry to find the turning, which is tucked away somewhere between Toudon and Tourette-du-Chateau. Those who search will be rewarded, however, with a deserted, small, irregularly surfaced scrawl of switchbacks up the rocky mountain face. Perfection, in our eyes at least. Mont Vial is part of our Montagnes à la Carte series, head over to https://bit.ly/3eCNiEJ and claim your badge if you rode this classic.

Beautiful climb. The downhill after this climb is narrow and is ending with a long section offroad.
