Climbing and

treetop adventure

Horse riding

Horse rides

Welcome to the land of “Salt Roads” and bridle paths!

Strap on your riding hat and saddle up to explore our fabulous area’s paths. Whether you’re an experienced jockey or Sunday rider, horse and donkey rides are a great way to soak up the fabulous scenery encompassing the sea, mountains and hilltop villages. Make sure you squeeze in the destination’s signature horse treks in Mercantour National Park for an adventure that will have you champing at the bit!

Fishing

The Roya and Bévéra Valleys are home to 130km of fishing zones.
Fishing enthusiasts will love the peaceful gorges and mountain lakes, especially trout fishermen as river trout reign supreme here! Pick up your fishing permit and experience our “introductory”, “no kill” and “advanced” fishing for a thrilling or relaxing outing at one with nature.

Paragliding

In the skies

The French Riviera is even more fabulous from above…

Whether you’re soaring over the mountain or sea, your initial adrenalin rush makes way for the sweet sound of silence. Let the wind blow you on your way and just drink in the experience from the comfort of your seat! Go it alone or join an instructor for a thrilling ride you’ll never forget. If you’re a newcomer then there are several places where you can go on maiden voyages or take a course such as Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Sospel, Breil-sur-Roya and Tende. You won’t want to land…
