Would you like to discover Colmars in a different way? Imagine cycling through medieval and alpine scenery, climbing the ancient ramparts and taking to the larch-lined lanes. With Colmars bike hire from €10 / day, you can choose between mountain bikes and electric bikes for effortless adventures over mountain passes and forest trails.

The fortified village of Colmars-les-Alpes is the ideal starting point. As soon as you start pedaling, you can join the cycle path that runs alongside the Haut-Verdon river, then climb up to the Fort de Savoie for an exceptional panorama of the valley. Those who opt for an electric mountain bike will particularly appreciate the climb up to the Madone de Fenestre, while classic mountain bike purists will find technical descents towards the Clarée.

The local climate is both mild and sunny in summer, perfect for morning rides before the afternoon heat, and cool at the end of the day for a contemplative break facing the mountains. In spring and autumn, the air is crisp and the crunch of leaves under your tires adds an extra touch of adventure.

In the surrounding area, broaden your escapade: head for Lac d'Allos some 30 km away, follow the Ubaye valley towards Barcelonnette, or follow the cols to Saint-Martin-d'Entraunes. Each detour offers a different landscape, between rocky ridges and hilltop villages. For a more leisurely experience, the route du plateau de Valensole invites you to take a bucolic stroll, especially during the lavender flowering season.

A few tips before you set off: equip yourself with a helmet and gloves to protect your hands on stony trails. Carry sufficient water and energy bars, as the climbs can be demanding, even with an electric-assist bike. Check the day's weather forecast to avoid high-altitude thunderstorms, and look out for refreshment points in the fortified village.
