The route from
Barcelona
to Nice has been
divided into 17 cycling stages and three rest days in
Luz St. Sauveur, Carcassonne and
Malaucène.
The cycling days have mostly the same schedule : after a
start early in the morning you cycle the distance at own
speed to the next place. Normally small groups are
formed by riders of the same strength and interest.
The stages have an average length of 109 kilometres,
depending on the profile and the location of suitable
accommodation. You can expect long and big climbs during
the whole tour. The average elevation gain is around
2.000 meters per day. That's serious business.
At the start in Barcelona you receive an extensive tour
guide with background information about the route.
A GPS which has the option to upload files is essential
and very helpful to find the correct way without looking
at detailed maps and an overload of instructions.
