DAY 8 – Barcelonnette to Sospel, 169KM

A massive 100 miler with over 4000m of climbing, but 4800m of descent! A hard day with 3 climbs; the Col du Bonette (Europe’s highest road pass), The Col Saint Martin and to finish a group ascent of the Col de Turini.

For many of us Today was the best day. Beautiful weather, a challenging ride, the group ascent of Turini and then the descent, in the dark, of the mountain guided by the Fireflies that gave the tour it’s name. A magical moment that we shared with each other and will probably never forget.

A great day and the best way to finish a wonderous time in the Alps.
