The climb is long and beautiful, and it's a good thing the top of the mountain is closed, otherwise we'd have to add another 2km! From Cap D'ail, the start of the ascent is on big roads that aren't very pleasant, so I'd advise taking smaller residential streets to avoid the hassle. There's a fountain in the village of La Turbie that can be a good ally!... read more

La montée est belle et longue, heureusement que le haut du mont est fermé sinon il faudrait bien rajouter 2km ! Depuis Cap D’ail, début de l’ascension se fait sur de grosses routes pas très agréables, je conseillerais de passer par de plus petites rues résidentielles pour s’éviter du soucis. On trouve une fontaine au village de la Turbie qui peut être de bon alois !

A lot more difficult if you cycle all the way to the top, at least if the barrier is open. Superb views along the way and a total of 13 km of climbing

Nog een stuk lastiger als je helemaal naar de top fietst, tenminste als de slagboom open is. Schitterend uitzicht onderweg en totaal 13 km klimmen
