CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
Out of Seyne-les-Alpes and back again: 614 km, roughly 9 h 39 in the saddle. The stops in between: Finale Ligure, Borgio and Villeneuve-Loubet. The stored terrain estimate reaches about 2,000 m; a measured road-elevation profile is not available. It crosses from France into Italy - carry ID and check the toll rules. The line favours views over speed.
Photo stop near Seyne-les-Alpes is where the day begins. Next is Nice / Côte d’Azur return.
Finale Ligure is a seaside town with two personalities. On the coast, Finale Marina is a classic Ligurian resort, with a long beach, a palm-lined promenade and colourful houses. A few hundred metres inland, Finalborgo is a medieval town enclosed by walls, with narrow streets, old churches and the ruins of Castel Gavone on the hill above. The two are linked by a short road, and it is worth visiting both.

Nice / Côte d’Azur return comes up about 302 km into the recorded legs. Next is Vésubie and Tinée Valleys food stop.
In the grottoes of Borgio Verezzi, the limestone has been stained by iron, copper and manganese, and the stalactites glow in shades of red, yellow and green, some of the most colourful caves in Italy. They were found in the 1930s and are now open on guided tours. It is a cool, otherworldly escape on a hot day.
