Les P'tites Routes du Soleil

La grande traversée des Préalpes à vélo ou en VAE: just over 900 km, for more than 17,000 m of positive vertical drop, 25 significant passes, even if they don't exceed 1400 m. A major journey to be taken seriously, but one that can also be enjoyed as a leisurely stroll along the "chemins de traverse", discovering the region's heritage. From the green hills of the Albanais to the immense lakes of Savoie, from the wild expanses of the Vercors to the mineral relief of the Baronnies, from the lavender fields of Haute Provence to the perched villages of the Préalpes d'Azur, the cyclo-tourist itinerary of the "P'tites Routes du Soleil", far from the main roads, plunges you into the heart of protected territories conducive to escapism.
