Riviera glamour, Paris-Nice finish city, and doorstep to the Maritime Alps.
Overview
Cycling in Nice
Nice is the winter capital of pro cycling, where riders warm up on the coast then head into the backcountry for the Col de la Madone, Col d'Èze and the balcony roads of the Arrière-Pays. Mild weather, endless climbing and the Col de Turini within reach make it a year-round training paradise.
