Il cammino del Sole is a mountain bike route over 1400 km long. Located in France, almost on the border with Switzerland and Italy, the trail is divided into two parts:
- the first extends from the Rhône Valley to the Provençal Alps, passing through Valence, Gap and Sisteron;
- the second, instead, stretches from Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean Sea, more precisely from Grenoble to Nice.
The “Valence-Gap-Sisteron” route develops 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 south, in that landscape paradise known as Provence, where you can admire the Buech river up to Sisteron and the charming lavender fields.
Instead, the “Grenoble-Nice” route starts with the wonderful balconies of Lake Geneva, with a view of Mont Blanc, then continues on the rugged terrain of the Chartreuse and Vercors mountains, made up of forests and marked by steep gorges. The final part of the journey is characterized by vineyards and manure and a safer path.
