Riva Cycling

From the sun-soaked coastline of the Côte d’Azur to the summit of Mont Ventoux, this is a tour that delivers on every level. Over five unforgettable stages, you’ll ride through deep gorges, high plateaus, and quiet Provençal backroads, culminating in the legendary climb of the Giant of Provence. Along the way, you’ll experience the breathtaking beauty of the Gorges du Verdon, swim in turquoise lakes, and explore medieval hilltop villages. Each day blends challenging riding with time to relax, refuel, and soak in your surroundings. With full vehicle support, expert ride leaders, and our carefully designed route that includes both shorter and extended ride options, we will ensure you get the most from every kilometre. Whether you’re here for the climbs, the views, the company or the experience of riding through one of France’s most spectacular regions - this is a tour you’ll never forget. This tour is graded ‘Sport+’ , ideal for experienced cyclists who want a physical challenge but still value the time and energy to enjoy the landscapes, culture, and cuisine along the way. The "+" reflects the amount of climbing involved. Long ascents are part of the experience, but gradients are generally steady, and we’ve carefully balanced the distances to give you time to pace yourself. Our support van is also always nearby when you need it. A mid-trip two-night stay in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie allows for a well-earned breather or more riding, if you wish. With three route options available, from a relaxed 60km loop to more adventurous circuits, you can tailor the day to suit your mood. Or simply stay local, explore the village, or head down to the lake.
