In 2020, it was not the start initially hoped for, but there was still plenty of spectacle to be had. Anyway, the region is a wonderful place to go cycling. Fallen hero Lance Armstrong absolutely loved the region. He even had a favourite climb there (Col de Madone). Steven Kruijswijk, Michal Kwiatkowski and other riders (from Monaco as their home base) also ride their laps there. We give five tips for cycling on the Cote D'Azur in the Provence region. They are five stunning climbs we have listed, for inspiration for your next adventure on this beautiful coast. With these tips, you can escape the winter with confidence<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-id=\"19923\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20240720TDF1002-A.S.O._Charly_Lopez.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19923\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20240720TDF1002-A.S.O._Charly_Lopez.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20240720TDF1002-A.S.O._Charly_Lopez-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20240720TDF1002-A.S.O._Charly_Lopez-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20240720TDF1002-A.S.O._Charly_Lopez-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Tour de France 2024 - \u00c9tappe 20 - Nice - Col de la Couillole - (c) ASO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-0b1767f8-7f32-46a1-b46f-5d2fe8501c73\"><em>By: Sander Kolsloot<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"col-de-vence\">Col de Vence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This ascent, near the artist and gallery village of Vence (one of the most beautiful villages of <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/cycling-in-france\/\">France<\/a>, there are many of them and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.les-plus-beaux-villages-de-france.org\/fr\/\">the list can be found here<\/a>) is a perfect training climb. The southern variation, from Cagnes, is about 10 kilometres long at an average of 7%. You can go just deep enough there, and ultimately the evenness also gives you the advantage of good training. An additional advantage is that this climb only reaches an altitude of 963m, making it easily accessible even in winter, as it is actually snow and ice-free practically all year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"mycols-embed-col\"><p lang=\"nl\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mycols.app\/nl\/beklimming\/col-de-vence-vence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Col de Vence<\/a>, Vence, France<\/p>- Distance: 9.6 km, Elevation difference: 640 m, Average slope: 6.7 %<\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/mycols.app\/js\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" data-id=\"18849\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ColDeVence_AdobeStock-1024x685.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ColDeVence_AdobeStock-1024x685.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ColDeVence_AdobeStock-300x201.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ColDeVence_AdobeStock-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ColDeVence_AdobeStock.jpeg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Col de Vence - (c) AdobeStock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"col-de-la-bonette\">Col de la Bonette<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the highest mountains in Europe, the Cime de la Bonette is the highest paved climb in Europe. In total, this col is 25 kilometres long, with 10 kilometres of that climb above 2000 metres altitude. The roads of this climb are not passable all year round. Depending on the weather, the climb is open from around the end of May until sometimes in November. The climb is not very often in the major tours. In 2016, the Giro (?) rode to this climb. Then Mikel Nieve got to throw his hands in the air at the top. The tour last came there in 2008. One John-Lee Augustyn (remember this one?) was the (surprising) winner then. It is one of those must do's and it is on many bucket lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"mycols-embed-col\"><p lang=\"nl\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mycols.app\/nl\/beklimming\/cime-de-la-bonette-saint-etienne-de-tinee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cime de la Bonette<\/a>, Saint \u00c9tienne De Tin\u00e9e, France<\/p>- Distance: 25.6 km, Elevation difference: 1620 m, Average gradient: 6.4 %<\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/mycols.app\/js\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Little bonus: at the summit, you can take an extra 'lap', giving you even more training on your fitness at this altitude.

The bike brand he rode on named a model after it. Yet this climb has never been in a grand tour. It may be that this climb offers too little spectacle. It is 14 kilometres long in total, but very gradual. 6.5% average, maximum 10%. Another reason could be that the climb is a bit difficult to ride by the Tour caravan. It gets quite narrow and rough at one point. You might encounter a few sheep just like that. Or Chris Froome on his daily lap in the off-season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"mycols-embed-col\"><p lang=\"nl\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mycols.app\/nl\/beklimming\/col-de-la-madone-menton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Col de la Madone<\/a>, Menton, France<\/p>- Distance: 13.5 km, Elevation difference: 899 m, Average slope: 6.7 %<\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/mycols.app\/js\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" data-id=\"18851\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ColdeMadone.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ColdeMadone.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ColdeMadone-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ColdeMadone-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Col de la Madone - (C) AdobeStock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"col-de-turini\">Col de Turini<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cycling on the Cote d'Azur means only one thing: Col de Turini. If you love rallying in addition to cycling, this is a name with a story. In fact, the Turini was made famous by the Monte Carlo Rally. So why is this a really nice climb in this region? You can tackle it from three different sides. Each side is slightly different. The western climb is the most awe-inspiring, with a considerable gradient (7.3% average in 15kilometres). The southern side is the friendliest but a lot longer (26 kilometres, 4.9%). The eastern climb is a bit in between in terms of length and gradient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a stunning climb over some rural roads and at the top, at 1600 metres you have a few restaurants and coffee tents where you can stop for refreshments or to warm up. Beware: in winter it can be cold and slippery here! And you might just bump into Richie Porte here. There are worse places to have a collision with a pro \ud83d\ude09.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"5364\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/iStock-462882751-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/iStock-462882751-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/iStock-462882751-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/iStock-462882751-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/iStock-462882751-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/iStock-462882751-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Col de Turini (c) AdobeSTock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"col-d-eze\">Col d'Eze<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This climb is actually the quintessential Paris-Nice climb. Until recently, it was in the final time trial every year, but now the local mayor has other plans. Alas. Richie Porte and Chris Froome have been allowed to stand on the top step here before. It is not an impressive col in terms of numbers as it only climbs to 504m, it is at 5% and the maximum score is 9.4% on the gradient. Still, it provides spectacle every time the pros give it a 10km snarl. And for the view, you should definitely have done it once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Added bonus: if you are based in Nice, this is the easiest climb to reach, as it also starts in the seaside town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"416\" data-id=\"19926\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AdobeStock_3550818-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19926\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AdobeStock_3550818-1.jpeg 624w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AdobeStock_3550818-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AdobeStock_3550818-1-18x12.jpeg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rider on the Col d'Eze (c) adobestock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bonusklim-col-de-tende\">Bonus climb: Col de Tende<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you get a total of 48 hairpin bends in just 7.4 kilometres? And how is it possible to add another 17 (!) with a turn. That's the Col de Tende. It really is a bucket list climb that you can attack from two sides. The best route, though, is from Nice and then via the D6204. Don't forget to turn off before the Tende Tunnel otherwise you'll miss the best part. It does take a while to get to the top as it is a long climb that only gets steeper. An additional disadvantage: the road surface also only gets worse. So not too narrow tyres and allow for a bit of off-road. But with a climb like this, you have to be prepared for that.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nice was het decor van de Tourfinish in 2024.
