Geneva to Nice Cycle Tour
Ride to the sun! This demanding yet spectacular cycle tour challenge takes us from lakeside Geneva south to the Mediterranean city of Nice, following part of the historic Route Napoleon.
Our cycle route takes in mountain passes, quiet valley roads and cruising descents. We cycle via the picturesque towns of Annecy and Sisteron as we head through beautiful scenery of towering mountain peaks, spectacular limestone cliffs and gorges, dense forests and lavender fields. Our cycle tour entails long, challenging days in the saddle but the magnificence of the landscapes motivates us to keep pedalling! Our unforgettable cycle tour ends with a fabulous descent from the hills through the Gorge du Loup to Nice and the beach, where we have time to relax and appreciate our huge achievement.
