This is a very good alternative for getting to the Col d'Eze if the traffic on the main road is too heavy, but choose it anyway if possible. The surface is not good but good enough for a road bike, in the resdecenste then you have to be careful with speed given the ground however but still ok. The return trip to the top of the antenna isn't really worth it as there's nothing more to see.... read more

C’est une très bonne alternative pour aller au col d’Eze si la circulation sur la grande route est trop importante, mais privilégie la quand même si c’est possible. Le revêtement n’est pas bon mais suffisamment ok pour un velo de route, dans la resdecenste ensuite il faut faire attention à la vitesse vu le sol cependant mais ok toujours. L’aller retour en haut de l’antenne n’en vaut pas spécialement le coup car il n’y a rien de plus à voir.

It's a steep one!
Some of the sections are quite tough.
The effort is pretty intense.
The road is in good condition up to the fork to the right that leads to the barrier. After that, the road deteriorates but it's totally doable with a road bike.
No traffic.
The switchbacks are extremely tight.
This little road is great, but I had a hard time of it (my GPS told me 7km/h...).
At the top, it's Albania and its bunkers.
The descent is enormous! Watch out for the straights and switchbacks.
I'll never forget Mont Leuze!
I recommend this wall!

Celle-ci est bien raide !
Certains passages sont bien costauds.
L’effort est vraiment intense.
La route est en bon état jusqu’à la bifurcation vers la droite qui conduit à la barrière. Ensuite, ça se dégrade mais c’est totalement faisable avec un vélo de route.
Pas de circulation.
Les lacets sont extrêmement serrés.
Cette petite route est formidable mais j’en ai bavé (mon GPS m’a indiqué 7km/h sur certains tronçons sur lesquels je zigzaguais…).
En haut, c’est l’Albanie et ses bunkers.
La descente est énorme ! Attention aux « tout droit » et aux lacets.
Je me souviendrai de ce Mont Leuze !
Je recommande ce mur !
