In partnership with the Mercantour National Park, the Syndicat Mixte pour le Développement de la Vallée de la Vésubie et du Valdeblore is offering you the chance to discover the Authion massif, a natural fortress overlooking the Vésubie and Roya valleys, in a different way, as part of an initiative to promote ecotourism.

Using an electrically-assisted bicycle and a dedicated smartphone application, you can set off from the Col de Turini to discover an itinerary that is exceptional in both natural and cultural terms, as the Authion loop is located at a high altitude and largely in the heart of the Mercantour National Park.

It should be noted that, with the exception of the route you are about to follow, cycling is systematically prohibited in the heart of the Mercantour National Park. Please ensure that you do not leave the RD68 road other than on foot. Racks have been installed along the route to allow you to park and attach your bike, making it easier for you to explore the area.

From the Napoleonic Wars to the last world war, the Authion site, with its many ruined forts, is a reminder of the tragic feats of arms that took place there. Now a peaceful grazing area, the Authion plateau is ideal for an electric bike ride.

The exceptional panoramic views all along the route allow you to admire the eastern part of the Mercantour massif and the last foothills of the Alps plunging towards the Mediterranean.
