The villages are beautiful, there are lovely views and places to eat and drink in Sasso and Seborga.
The trail from Apricale to Perinaldo
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.
From Isolabona to Roccheta Nervina via Monte Morgi
This hike follows the old mule track that linked the two villages. Isolabona, a charming village known for its picturesque historic centre and olive groves, and Rocchetta Nervina, which offers hikers a unique experience, far from the hustle and bustle of modern life. A few ‘natural pools’ are real oases waiting to be discovered.
Barbaira pools
Starting from the charming village of Rocchetta Nervina, this walk takes you up the Rio Barbaira to discover its beautiful pools and waterfalls.
On the way back, a short tour of the old village will round off this lovely outing in Italy.
Pinto de Cin from Rochetta Nervina
Starting from the entrance to the national park on the edge of Rochetta Nervina, this hike will take you up into the mountains, accompanied by the gentle sound of the Barbaira, to Pont de Cin.Some sections are on the side of a cliff, with stony paths, which are best avoided if it has rained recently. In good weather, these sections are not particularly difficult.
The hamlets of Cetta and Loreto at the start of Triora
This hike begins and ends with a walk through the village of Triora, ranked among the most beautiful villages in Italy. It is a perfect example of a medieval village, where every alleyway, every small square, every wall and every building bears witness to centuries of history and tradition. The wooded valley, the old bridge overlooking the Argentina valley, and the two other hamlets you pass through will capture your attention.
Balcony and Cime de Marta from Colle Melosa

From Grimaldi Beach (Italy) to Menton via Mont Carpano
A challenging hike offering fabulous views of the Italian, Monegasque and French coastlines, preceded by a path that winds through the greenhouse crops of Grimaldi.

Le Mounta cala de Menton

The Cruella tower circular via Les Crottés and the Breil-sur-Roya forest.
A very beautiful hike, starting with a walk through Breil-sur-Roya, whose narrow streets with vaulted porches are steeped in history. Then, after discovering a dozen crottés (small vaulted shelters), a real local curiosity, as well as the old Cruella watchtower overlooking the village, our route crosses the main areas of biological diversity located on the left bank of the Roya, overlooking the town.
The Carleva valley
The Carleva is a small tributary of the Roya. This stream owes its reputation to its long, wild canyon. The route follows the Carleva to the start of the canyon. The trail continues under the ridge on the border with Italy. Crossing several streams adds a touch of coolness to this hike. The trail continues along the left bank of the Carleva to a magnificent bridge that spans it. The final stretch overlooks the Roya to the entrance of the village of Breil-sur-Roya.
User comment on 22 February 2025: Trail currently closed between markers 105 and 107.See https://randoxygene.departement06.fr/liste-des-sentiers-fermes-pedestre
Therefore closed on the return from marker 107 (9) to marker 105 (3).
The route from (S) to point (6): crossing the Carléva remains a beautiful route. In this case, the return journey is via the same route as the outward journey.
