Maritime Alps: Three Hikes above the Tinée valley
Maritime Alps: Three Hikes above the Tinée valley
The Tinée river has created the deepest valley in the french maritime Alps. Hiking here means suffering large differences in altitude, with superb views and a lot of diversity as rewards. Adding to this diversity is the fact that Roure, our 'base camp' overlooking the Tinée from a balcony position, is situated right at the border between Alps and Méditerranée.

'Perched village Ilonse.'
One village south of Roure you will encounter Ilonse, probably the most spectacularly situated of the perched villages above the Tinée valley.
