Sport, Cycling sports, Mountain biking itinerary, Gravel bike route, Electric mountain bike route in Breil-sur-Roya
5.9 km

  • Superb ridge walk on a track, technically easy and short. Arrival at the top of Mount Grazian, breathtaking 360° view of the sea to the south and the eastern end of the Mercantour with Mount Bego and the Marguareis massif to the extreme north-east.

  • Park at the Col de Brouis, altitude 879 m, located between Sospel and Breil-sur-Roya on the RD 2204. The view is already magnificent, with the village of Saorge clinging to the steep slopes opposite you on the north side.
    You can also choose to cycle to the Col de Brouis from Breil on the RD 2204, or on the GR 52A, or from Sospel.

    Park at the Col de Brouis, altitude 879 m, located between Sospel and Breil-sur-Roya on the RD 2204. The view is already magnificent, with the village of Saorge clinging to the steep slopes opposite you on the north side.
    You can also choose to cycle to the Col de Brouis from Breil on the RD 2204, or on the GR 52A, or from Sospel.

    Marker 124. Take the track that leaves on the north side to the left of the inn. It will pass quickly to the south.
    Continue straight ahead (do not take the track that goes left towards the antennas and the cime du Bosc).
    You follow the GR52 A route up to the marker 119 at the Col de Paula.
    There, the GR will go down on the right by a path,
    You take the right track.
    (The track on the left leads to the very pretty perched hamlet of Piene-Haute: on the way back you can choose to make a detour to visit this eagle's nest, its churches and chapel and its castle, and enjoy the breathtaking view).

    Along the way you will see some old border markers.
    A few hairpin bends and you are at the top of Mount Grazian, which dominates Sospel and its fields, nothing stopping your vision, Mount Grazian being an isolated summit.
    Return by the same route.

    Remember to take water, the route is in full sun.
    Avoid the hottest hours of the day in midsummer; in summer, early mornings or evenings are best.
