The Nice region and the pre-Alpes (Les Alpes-Maritimes) is one of the most stunning areas in the world for road biking. It is magnificent and challenging. Challenge iconic climbs known from the Tour de France, such as Col de Braus, Col d'Eze, Col de Colmiane or pedal along the coast to Italy.
Lifesparkz Bike Tours guides you from the ocean to beautiful and tranquil mountain roads, where we can stop for coffee in a village and enjoy breathtaking views.
We offer a variety of pre-designed tours but am happy to customize an experience based on your preferences. Dates, times, and starting points are arranged directly with you, with all departures from the Nice region in Alpes-Maritimes, France.
You can cycle here all the year around. Our favorite months for cycling are February-June and September-December. July-September get hot.
These tours are for cycling enthusiasts who love to explore new landscapes and enjoy the challenge of biking the scenic and mountainous roads of the Côte d’Azur.
Participants should have experience with road cycling and feel confident on a bike. If you are relatively new to road biking, we can organize tours in quieter areas to help you get comfortable with your bike and cycling techniques.
A good physical condition is recommended, as the climbs can be challenging.
Our team can guide you on road bike, hybrid bike, mountain bike or gravel bike tours.
You can book a tour either with or without rental of a quality bike. A helmet is often provided with a bike rental. Shoes and cycling clothing are not included in the tours. If you prefer to travel light, you can purchase or rent Lifesparkz cycling apparel, made from high-quality Santini materials.
We collaborate with a number of trusted rental services in the Côte d’Azur.
For safety and a more personal experience, we recommend groups of up to 8 people. Larger groups can be accommodated with additional guides.
You can join one of the pre-designed open group tours from our events list or we can custom design private tours for single or multiple days based on your preferences.
If you prefer to explore on your own you can get one of our self-guided packages. The packages are tailormade to your holiday plans. They include a video call, where we advise you on the best routes to pick depending on your itinerary plus a package of GPX-files that you can download. They can also include bike rental and booking of accommodation if you stay in one location. At the moment we do not offer luggage transfers for self-guided travelers in France.
We brief you on local traffic rules and share tips for climbing and descending if needed. While we encourage you to challenge yourself, we prioritize safety and discourage pushing too hard, either uphill or downhill.
Helmets, water bottles, and energy-boosting snacks are strongly recommended for all participants.
