Mont Férion — The Ventoux of the Riviera Gravel

Fifteen kilometres from the Promenade des Anglais, above the traffic and the sea light, there is a mountain that most visitors to Nice will never see. The Mont Férion sits at 1 412 metres in the pre-Alps behind the coast, connected to the villages of Levens, Coaraze, and Duranus by a network of DFCI forest roads built for fire prevention and discovered, inevitably, by the cyclists who live here and needed somewhere to go that wasn't tarmac.
