  • An easy and pleasant route to discover the medieval village of La Brigue, somewhat away from the Roya Valley. A "fresh" route on the old path that linked Saint-Dalmas-de-Tende to La Brigue ...

  • From the station, join the RN6204. Follow this road, turning right in the direction of Ventimiglia, go through the tunnel and then, after the shops (butcher's, grocer's), take the first road on the left which leads to the other side of the Roya via a small bridge (signposted "Sainte-Anne, chemin des Terris"). Cross the Roya bridge at marker 40 and take the small tarmac road to the right, which climbs slightly to reach marker 41. Turn left and follow the signs for "La Brigue". Follow a track...

Follow a track until you reach a house where the Sainte-Anne trail begins.

    The route passes through gullies at the level of the Porcaresso cliffs, then near an abandoned railway shelter. After reaching marker 42, continue straight on towards La Brigue, through the Armaneïra forest. You'll find the ruins of the chapel of Sainte Anne. Pass the oratory of Saint Valentin, and at marker 43, descend into the village. The finish line is at marker 44 near the Collegiate Church, in front of the Place de la Mairie. Take time to visit La Brigue through the narrow streets.
