Nice
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.
Two cols above Nice in a single loop — the elegant Col de Braus and the legendary Col de Turini, 1,604 metres, home of the Monte Carlo Rally. Sospel in between. 112 km, 2,497 metres of climbing.
