Col St-Jean

Mountain Pass

20.5 km

Sospel, with its old bridge spanning the Bévéra river, its arcades, its washhouses and its old houses will charm you. You will clearly see an Italian influence, with the cheerful colors of some houses and clothes drying on the balconies. The town also has a mountainous look with its buildings constructed from local stones, giving it an undeniable austere air.

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.

Mont Panard Singletrack

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

Starting from the Baisse du Pape (Col de Braus), this trail is a real enduro special that deserves to be discovered.
Successions of rolling, technical passages, on the slope, in the leaves, on the stone, a multitude of terrains which reflect in a single track all of what we find in the region.

Contact me to come and discover this little gem.
