Cycling - Bike Touring in the Verdon

A source of curiosity in cycle touring through our mountain villages of Haute-Provence, and an experience of surpassing oneself to climb the mythical peaks of the Col des Champs, Col d’Allos, Col des Félines, Col des Lecques, Colle-Saint-Michel in the wheel of the Tour de France.

The Alpes-de-Haute-Provence département is the first to be awarded the “Territoire vélo” label by the French Cycling Federation, a paradise for road cyclists with breathtaking scenery.
