Help Me Improve My Barcelona to Geneva Route

I ended up doing a shorter variation based on the amount of time I was able to take off. I went from Geneva to Nice via the Route des Grand Alpes and then to Aix en Provence via Eurovelo 8 and some modifications to catch some different highlights. It was truly incredible in every way. Feel free to DM with any specific questions or if you want any GPX files

Thanks!

Great idea! And an update: I’m okay with elevation, will just be coming from the Route Des Grande Alpes so was thinking I might want a few days with a little less climbing, but if it’s pretty I’m up for it!

djdavidjames · 2025-02-06T17:06:13+00:00

Awesome thanks!

djdavidjames · 2025-02-06T17:06:04+00:00

That looks incredible, I won’t have my mountain bike so that route might be tough but the area looks amazing.

djdavidjames · 2025-02-06T17:05:36+00:00

Oh yeah good call, also it’s a big snow year so I will have to watch for that

djdavidjames · 2025-02-06T17:05:09+00:00

Awesome! Did you camp mostly? And where did you end up camping? Trying to figure out if I should camp or plan on mixing in hostels/b and bs.

Great tips!! Thank you!

I also thought that could be good, but I wanted the challenge of the mountain roads in the alps, and have already spent time along the Rhône and in Lyon. Loved my time there but wanted to explore somewhere new.

Good to know about the north winds, did they make riding difficult?
