Rapha Randonnée Weekend - Southern Alps

10 May — 14 May 2012

SOLD OUT.

After flying into Nice Airport you’ll be riding in the peace and tranquillity of the Southern Alps before you know it. The landscape of the hills overlooking Nice and Cannes offers fabulous riding terrain through silent pine forest and aromatic garrigue.  Day One features a rolling ride through olive groves and vineyards en route to the spectacular Gorges du Verdon. Day Two takes you on a lap of the spectacular Gorges du Verdon and Day Three returns to St Paul de Vence via some of the undiscovered cols of the Alpes Maritime. Like Catalonia, the area also plays host to it’s own community of pros who take advantage of the deserted roads and taxing climbs to hone their form in the pre-season.

Distance: 340km
Total climbing: 6250m

Day One - St Paul de Vence to La Martre - 100km - 2500m
Day Two - La Martre to La Martre - 130km - 2250m
Day Three - La Martre to St Paul de Vence - 110km - 1500m
