Trail Reviews
The morning begins, as planned, with a beautiful section of hike a bike over 2.5 kilometers. The landscapes make you forget the weight of the bikes. Once past this section, a pretty track surrounded by marmots takes us 2 kilometers to the summit of La Bonnette. The descent of the pass in the open wind gives us time to enjoy all the surrounding peaks and mountain pastures. An excursion through the slopes allows us to enjoy the calm of the Lac des Sagnes before descending at top speed towards Jausiers! We choose to sleep in La Chalp campsite in Barcelonnette for its Cycling Friendly side
Alternative route to the classic Col de la Bonette road. This track includes 4 km of portage uphill through a valley of the Mercantour park (up to the Raspaillon pass) where there is a ban on bikes. From the top of the bonette beautiful dirt descent to the final part of the Col de la Cayolle ------------------ Alternative route to the classic Col de la Bonette road. This track includes 4 km of portage through a valley of the Mercantour park (up to the Raspaillon pass) where riding is strictly prohibited. From the top of the Bonette beautiful gravel descent to the final part of the Col de la Cayolle
Nice gravel loop. Almost no one on the way up, especially after Bayasse. A portion with large stones between the 26th and 30th km. Then after the parking lot, nice track to the road.
