Description

Thanks to the legendary 'Train des Merveilles', the lifeline of the inhabitants of Roya after storm 'Alex', come and explore the paths of this wild, authentic valley. Let's meet at 9:00 a.m. at Nice Ville station to board the railway line that leads to the summits with complete peace of mind. A guide specializing in this area will give you numerous explanations over the course of 1 hour 45 minutes, including a coffee break at the Breil-sur-Roya station, before starting the hike (9 km for 400 elevation gain) with your naturalist guide from the platform of Tende station. On little-trodden paths, you will immerse yourself in the calm of the Roya forests, while walking in the footsteps of an ancient border, between France and Italy. And why not on the trail of wolves, very present here? After the effort of the morning, a picnic break is essential on a pass before a descent into the mineral universe to reach La Brigue. We will pass through the tiny stone streets to reach the center of the village, have a coffee, before diving back into the forest to reach Saint Dalmas. Our experience will end with a well-deserved drink or with a specialty to bring back. The 'Train des Merveilles' will take you back to Nice Ville station at 7:30 p.m. All for an ever more moderate carbon impact, in all simplicity, well-deserved memories thanks to hiking!
