Short Description
Embark on a captivating cycling journey from Freiburg to Nice, weaving through picturesque landscapes and rich cultural gems. Explore Freiburg’s medieval charm, pedal alongside the Rhine to Basel’s cultural scene, and savor the vineyard-covered slopes of Murten. Discover Chamoson’s apricot orchards, delve into Aosta’s Roman history, and experience Turin’s cultural blend. Challenge yourself through Vinadio’s mountain roads and reward your efforts at the Vinadio Fortress. This cycling odyssey is a harmonious blend of natural beauty, historical wonders, and the joy of the open road—a must for cyclists seeking adventure and culture.
Due to time pressure, I skipped the stage “Turin” to “Cuneo”. In the stage breakdown, it is marked as not-ridden.
