Hiking in Provence - Sospel to Villefranche

The genuine backwaters of the Riviera

Behind the French Riviera's glittering coastline lies another world – timeless mountain villages, nestled in lush valleys and surrounded by dramatic mountain peaks. Here, ancient trails wind through forests and past silver-gleaming olive groves. High above the Mediterranean, you're offered views that are both beautiful and breathtaking.

The historic trails lead you all the way to Menton, the beautiful lemon city at the Italian border. Here you're met by a unique cultural mix where Italian and French architecture blend together – a perfect ending to your hike. The longer program variants continue along the Riviera to elegant Villefranche.

Note: During Monaco Grand Prix (usually at the end of May), much can be fully booked and prices higher, so book well in advance if you want to travel during this period.

7 Breakfasts and 2 Dinners included

Dinner

Travel easily to Sospel by train from Nice (train ticket not included). Upon arrival, your accommodation is only about 800 meters from the station, a short and pleasant walk through the small village. If you have time - take the opportunity to discover the town! The most striking monument in Sospel is the fortified bridge Pont Fortifié, which was built in the 12th century. The streets in the old town are very narrow with tall buildings. Place Saint Michel is by far the most colorful and picturesque place in Sospel. Dinner is included tonight.

Level and standard

The hikes are generally under 5 hours in varied terrain, without technical difficulties. Expect up to 600 m ascent per day and a calm pace on longer uphill sections. One day offers a choice between a shorter stage to Menton or a more challenging summit excursion.

Accommodation

You stay at cozy 2-star hotels and guesthouses where breakfast is included every morning. Day 4 includes a picnic lunch (not in 5 days/4 nights), and day 1 and 2 also include dinner. Simple, comfortable accommodation and homely atmosphere provide pleasant recovery after the day's hike.
