Mercantour National Park
At the top of the Gélas, 3143 meters high, the French Riviera is only 50 km away as the crow flies! Six valleys with authentic personalities give life to the Mercantour. The valleys of the Verdon, the Var, the Ubaye, the Roya-Bévéra, the Vésubie and the Tinée await you. The Park has been developed to allow the practice of nature activities, while ensuring the protection of biodiversity. There are many activities available : hiking, Nordic walking, cycling, mountain biking, horse riding, canyoning, climbing, kayaking, tree climbing, via ferrata… In winter, the snow offers a new face to the valleys and peaks of the Mercantour Park. You can practice a wide variety of winter activities such as downhill skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, dog sledding, snowmobiling… From one valley to the other, you will be able to discover a built heritage of discreet beauty: wash houses, fountains, wells, oratories, churches, chapels, grain mills, irrigation canals, dovecotes, bridges, medieval castles, fortifications of the Maginot Line of the Alps…
