Étape de la traversée des Alpes de Saint-Dalmas-le-Selvage jusqu'à Roya. Randonnée offrant un très beau panorama sur la Haute Tinée avec passage de la station de ski d'Auron puis après le Col du Blainon entrée dans le vallon de Roya où le mouton est roi.

A very beautiful high-mountain hike at the foot of Cime de la Bonette between the Alpes Maritimes and Alpes de Haute Provence. Very little traffic. Magnificent, rocky landscape. The upper Braissette lake is a very beautiful spot for bivouacking.

A long but beautiful stage combining the austere landscape of Mont Mounier with the green mountain pastures of Longon.Look up to watch the vultures.A gentle finish at the Vacherie de Longon, surrounded by animals.

This eighteenth stage continues the traverse of the Mercantour Massif. From Roya, the GR®5 crosses the Vallon de Roya torrent, follows the Vallon de la Maïris upstream and then the Vallon de Sallevieille, before winding its way up to the Plan des Laces and then the Col de Crousette. From the pass, the path winds its way up the left-hand slope of the Vallon de la Culasse towards the Stèle Vallette, follows the ridge on the Vallon du Démant side, crosses the Baisse du Démant and descends to the Col du Refuge and then to the Col des Moulinés. It drops down to the bottom of the Vallon du Démant, crosses its torrent and, on the slope of the opposite side, meets the Vallon de la Gourgette. Above the hamlet of Vignols, it climbs beneath the ruin-like rocks of Les Chambrettes, where a colony of bearded vultures nests, and passes the small pass of Portes de Longon, then winds its way along a stream to reach the Refuge du Longon or Vacherie de Roure.

Étape de la traversée des Alpes de Roya jusqu'à Roure. Randonnée allant de la Haute Tinée en passant par le Mercantour où l'on peut apercevoir des vautours. À l'approche du Col de Croussette un univers minéral nous attend puis un plateau quasi désertique pour finir par la douceur des pâturages de Roure.
