Description
This mountain motorcycle tour, straddling the Alpes de Haute-Provence and Alpes Maritimes, crosses three passes. The road winding through the larch trees is sublime and very pleasant to ride, although narrow...
This ride covers more than 4,600 metres of magical and diverse landscapes. It's the ideal playground for lovers of leisurely road trips.
The three passes on this loop will take your breath away.
Head towards Uvernet-Fours and enter the magnificent Bachelard Gorges. After Bayasse, you will be in the Mercantour National Park. Please drive carefully, as the wild animals in this protected natural area will thank you for it. Also, watch out for marmots, as they like to bask in the sun on the tarmac!
After Guillaumes, head for La Couillole, a small pass in the Alpes-Maritimes with landscapes that are well worth seeing.
At Saint-Sauveur-sur-Tinée, turn left towards the Cime de la Bonette, the highest road in Europe. At an altitude of 2,802 metres, the view is breathtaking!
