The ride
Roll out of Sospel and follow La Bévéra before the Château de Sospel sets the tone. The route climbs past the Parc de l'Ubac Foran and on by the Hôtel Winter Palace and Riviera Palace, with 2312 m of elevation gain keeping the legs honest. Later come the Château des Grimaldi and the Parc de la Grande Corniche, then Le Paillon, before the road brings you back to Sospel.
