Nordic Center of Casterino

  • Cross-country skiing
Elevation : 1550m
Hameau de Castérino, 06430 Tende
Nestled in the heart of unspoilt mountains, discover the Casterino Nordic center. At an altitude of 1550m and just 1h30 from Nice, this little family paradise promises an unforgettable getaway in an exceptional natural setting.
Let yourself be enchanted by this high-altitude hamlet nestled among majestic peaks - Mount Agnelino, Mount Chajol, Mount Sainte-Marie and the mythical Mount Bego, guardian of the famous rock engravings in the Fontanalba and Merveilles valleys.

The area offers 3 cross-country ski trails for all levels of skiers, ideal for gliding through unspoilt countryside.
Winter walkers will also appreciate the snowshoeing itineraries, both on the estate and towards the valleys of the Mercantour National Park, for magnificent escapes into the heart of snow-covered forests and wild landscapes.
To complete the experience, young and old alike can enjoy the play area and toboggan run, while the more adventurous can try their hand at ski touring (accompaniment recommended for added safety).

No equipment? No problem: Auberge Marie Madeleine offers on-site equipment rental for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and tobogganing.

From January 10 to March 15, let yourself be carried away by the Train des Neiges! Every weekend - and every day from February 14 to March 1, 2026 - leave Nice at 8:32 a.m. and take the easy way to the resort.
