2027 Cycling Tours

Level 1 rides are on the easiest routes in your tour location and are suitable for cyclists of all levels. The terrain is generally flat, rolling or there are some shorter climbs. Usually Level 1 rides are along the coast or inland in the valleys. Our more challenging tours often include one or two recovery days with Level 1 rides. 20km – 60km / Flat – 400m of climbing

Level 2 rides cover distances that take most cyclists 2-4 hours, and involve moderate climbs. Although they may start at the coast, they tend to veer inland and through the numerous perched villages scattered along the hills and mountains of the French and Italian Riviera. 40km – 80km / 300 – 700m of climbing

Level 3 rides are challenging and suitable for avid cyclists who are accustomed to long distances and difficult climbs (5 km – 20 km climbs). Routes may include several mountain passes. Level 3 rides often include the iconic climbs of our region such as the Col de la Madone, Col de Vence and the Col de Braus. 70km – 120km / 500 – 1500m of climbing

Level 4 rides are suitable for avid and/or competitive cyclists who are used to doing challenging rides of 4 to 6+ hours with significant climbing. Level 4 rides take you on the legendary cols of the Tour de France, Paris-Nice, and the Ironman Nice course, and often include several mountain passes in one ride, as well as Hors Catégorie cols. 90km – 180+km / 1500m+ – 4000m+ climbing
