Discover the Alpes Maritimes
The Alpes Maritimes region of France stretches from the high peaks of the Maritime Alps down to the shimmering Mediterranean coast. This diverse landscape offers an unparalleled walking experience, from medieval villages perched on hilltops to picturesque fishing ports along the sea.
Hilltop Hamlets and Coastal Paths
Winding ancient pathways connect a series of centuries-old hamlets, their stone houses and church spires standing in contrast to the surrounding lush valleys. Descend from these hilltop villages to stroll along the turquoise waters of the Côte d'Azur, where charming fishing ports and hidden coves await.
A Taste of the Mediterranean
Olive groves, citrus orchards, and terraced vineyards dot the rolling hills, offering a taste of the region's bountiful local produce. Explore historic town centres, browse colourful markets, and savour fresh seafood in seaside cafés, all while drinking in the distinct Mediterranean atmosphere.
Varied Terrain and Stunning Vistas
This walking holiday showcases the Alpes Maritimes' diverse landscapes, from lofty mountain peaks to rugged coastal cliffs. Marvel at sweeping panoramas across the Roya Valley and the glittering Ligurian Sea, as you traverse an ever-changing terrain of forests, meadows, and historic villages.
