Departure from Apricale (Imperia)
Discover two magnificent ancient villages clinging to the mountainside, following the centuries-old paved and wooded path that connected the two villages. It's fun to get "lost" in the narrow streets while keeping the right direction; it's a labyrinth of houses with ancient walls and steep staircases.

This is the last stage ofthe GR® 52. It is certainly not the highest in altitude, but it is difficult due to its distance and the passage of certain passes with steep ascents and descents. The Mediterranean views are splendid, especially those from the Col du Razet and Col du Berceau, which rises to 1,100 metres above the town of Menton, the end point of theGR®. You walk along the Italian border throughout the route.
Be warned, in summer this stage is very challenging due to the heat, especially the descent from the Col du Berceau.
