From the village of Peille, the route heads into the hills and mountains of the hinterland, alternating long climbs, forest tracks, quiet roads and descents into the valleys.

205 km | 5 000 m elevation gain start and finish in Peille

More than a route, an adventure. More than a distance, a true journey through the mountains of the French Riviera.

With 205 kilometres and 5 000 metres of elevation gain, this epic gravel route takes you far beyond the landscapes usually associated with the Riviera.

From the narrow streets of Peille, the route gradually heads inland to explore a wild and deeply authentic hinterland. Mountains rise one after another, valleys deepen, forests envelop the trails, and panoramas stretch as far as the eye can see.

Here, kilometres are measured in experiences as much as distance. A long climb in the silence of the mountains, a trail perched above a valley, a remote village, a seemingly endless descent, or simply the pleasure of riding far from it all.

This demanding route rewards riders who can pace their effort, embrace the distance and keep moving with determination.

As the hours pass, gravel becomes as much an inner journey as an exploration of the landscape.

205 kilometres. 5 000 metres of elevation gain. One ambition: to go beyond the horizon.

Two days, three days, or perhaps longer… Here, time fades away and adventure takes over.

Starting from the hilltop village of Peille, GRAVEL06 invites you on an extraordinary journey across the Alpes-Maritimes, from the foothills of the Mercantour to the red rocks of the Estérel massif.

Nearly 450 kilometres of exploration through an incredible variety of landscapes: wild mountains, deep forests, characterful villages, remote trails and forgotten back roads. As the kilometres unfold, alpine terrain gradually gives way to the hills of Provence, the scents of Mediterranean vegetation and views over the deep blue sea.

Here, the adventure is self-supported, shaped by the climbs, the people you meet and the passing hours. A night beneath the stars, sunrise over the mountains, the silence of a trail at dawn… Moments like these give the journey its full meaning.

More than an endurance challenge, this route is an invitation to slow down, explore and rediscover the very essence of travelling by bike.

450 kilometres. Between the Alps and the Mediterranean. An adventure without borders, freedom without limits.
