Alpine Escape: Monaco to the High Mountain Passes Loop

Ride two of the French Riviera’s most iconic mountain passes in one unforgettable loop. Starting from Monaco, the route climbs the flowing curves of Col de Castillon before tackling the legendary Col de Turini, world-famous for the Monte Carlo Rally and its endless hairpins, dense forests, and breathtaking alpine scenery. After descending the spectacular western side toward La Bollène-Vésubie, the route winds back through quiet mountain roads and picturesque villages before returning to the Mediterranean coast. A perfect ride for riders who love technical twisties, dramatic elevation changes, and some of the finest cols the Alpes-Maritimes has to offer.
