Bicycle loop la Bonette by la Moutière

The start sign is at the end of the bridge over the River Tinée, at the junction with the Route de Saint-Dalmas and Boulevard Maurice Rovery. This is where the ascent to the Col de la Bonette begins. From this point, head towards the Col on the RM 2205 until you reach Km 4, at a place called Pont-Haut, which crosses the Tinée. At the end of the bridge, turn left onto the RM 63 towards Saint-Dalmas-le-Selvage. When you reach Saint-Dalmas-le-Selvage, the road leads under the village to a small bridge on the left that crosses a small stream(Km 7.5). A single hikers' sign points the way to the Gialorgues - Estenc refuge and pass. Take this small, steeply graded road, with virtually no cars. At first, the road winds under the trees, before giving way to high mountain scenery. At times, the gradient is around 13-16%. The Col de la Moutière is at Km 18.5. From the summit, a very short descent takes you to the road to the cime de la Bonette, where you must take an unsurfaced path on the right(Km 19.2) for 3 km, quite doable with normal tyres and a ropute bike, the gradient is 10%. Once you reach the road(Faux col de Restefond - Km 22.5) on the Jausiers side, turn right towards the Cime de la Bonette (Km 26.8 ). After a well-deserved rest at the summit, take the direct descent with care towards Saint-Etienne de Tinée on the RM 64 and then to Pont-Haut on the RM 2205.
