GLR 5 Route info

You’ll start your GLR 5 motorcycle adventure in Gréoux Les-Bains, from there it’s all up north through the dry scrubs. Almost direct from the start, you follow the Durance river up north. With the river to your left and the mountains to your right, you encounter a larger on-road section for about 38 kilometers.

After the on-road section, the real fun starts. Once you’ve crossed the Durrance, you’ll hit the sand. Be prepared because this stuff is slippery as hell when wet! With regular intervals, you’ll navigate yourself over these sandy roads. You end your GLR 5 adventure after 104 kilometers, of which almost 40 km off-road, in Sault.

Choose this GLR 5 route for the experience of riding on these red sand roads. Although it’s fairly short, be prepared to spend about a day from start to finish. Especially when it’s wet!

Vaucluse

This enclave called “canton of Valréas” or also known as “enclaves des Papes”, was the home of several popes in the 14th century. Nowadays it’s an enclave, surrounded by the neighboring department of Drôme.

A significant part of the east of the region is mountainous. It’s here where you find the Giant of Provence, the Mont Ventoux. In the more southern part of the region, you find fertile grounds with fruits and lavender fields as far as the eye can see.

Connections in Sault

East or West, that’s the question. Take the GLR 4 east over the rolling hills. The GLR 4 will navigate you for over 201 km. Take this GLR as an alternative for the GLR 3. The GLR 3 can be extremely hot and humid during the summer, so this would be a refreshing alternative. With 48 kilometers of off-road sections, this GLR won’t bore you.

Is East the way to go? Take the GLR 7 to the lower Alps. This 416-kilometer long route will lead you for almost 107 km over off-road sections. I’ll ensure you, this is an Adventuriser worthy GLR!
