Col de Turini – Alpes-Maritimes, France
The Col de Turini is more than just a mountain pass in the Alpes-Maritimes. It holds a special place in sports as a famous cycling and auto racing track. Col de Turini is featured in the auto racing Monte Carlo Rally each year, was part of the Tour de France cycling races at least four times, and twice for the Paris-Nice races.
At almost 5,200 feet above the Mediterranean Sea, the Col de Turini stretches an impressive 15 miles long. With startling switchbacks across the Gorges du Piaon and waterfalls in the backdrop, it makes for an exciting journey to enjoy nature.
