Alpes-Maritimes Train Ride

On this route on the Train of the Alps we'll depart from Nice and travel through the Var Valley.

Tour Description

We will meet at the Gare des Chemins de Fer de Provence train station. Our first stop is Entrevaux, where you'll explore the Royal Citadel and enjoy views from the medieval drawbridge. A visit to a baroque cathedral is also included.

After lunch at a local restaurant, we will continue to a nearby medieval village with troglodyte features. A scenic 5-kilometer (3.1 miles) walk through an ancient chestnut forest will follow. This route requires decent physical fitness.

Depending on the group's pace, we’ll choose between a shorter 4-kilometer hike or a longer 8-kilometer circuit. Enjoy the fresh air of the Alps while exploring the forest.

We will conclude our journey on the Alpine Train back to the departure station in Nice, totaling approximately 13.5 hours.
