The Sun Trail is a mountain bike route spanning over 1400 km. Located in France, almost at the border with Switzerland and Italy, the route is divided into two parts:
- the first stretches from the Rhône Valley to the Provençal Alps, passing through Valence, Gap, and Sisteron;
- the second, instead, extends from Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean Sea, more precisely from Grenoble to Nice.
The “Valence-Gap-Sisteron” route runs through the vineyards of Diois, at the foot of the Vercors, a small mountain in the municipality of Dévoluy, and after reaching the Gapençais valleys, continues southward, into that scenic paradise known as Provence, where you can admire the Buech River up to Sisteron and the enchanting lavender fields.
Meanwhile, the “Grenoble-Nice” route begins with the wonderful viewpoints over Lake Geneva, with views of Mont Blanc, then continues over the rugged terrain of the Chartreuse and Vercors mountains, made up of forests and marked by steep gorges. The final part of the journey features vineyards and meadows and a safer path.
