Ride the Col de Braus, one of the South of Frances’ most accessible yet challenging mountains within an hour of Nice.
Passing through the beautiful village of L’Escarène and over a stone bridge just before the climb of the Col de Braus switchbacks starts, the winding road takes you past cliff-faces and a high valley with otherworldly views towards the coast.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Either use Col de Braus as a warm-up for the big rides or as a finishing ride due to its forgiving nature. The scenery is very Southern France/Italy with its low trees and exposed rock.
Heading over the back of Col de Braus takes you to Sospel which can be perfect to refuel and then make a run to the Italian coast, then back to Nice via Monaco.
