Departure from Isola (Alpes-Maritimes)
A very beautiful hike starting from Isola 2000, allowing you to discover six lakes, some of which are in Italian territory.
The hike is varied in that it follows a fairly busy route offering magnificent views, as well as a much wilder and less frequented section.
The numerous lakes and water sources along the way are an invitation to cool off.
Please note: there are some difficulties on the terrain => see § Practical information.

Departure from Saint-Martin-Vésubie (Alpes-Maritimes)
The most difficult stage of thisGR®, but the most beautiful for its landscapes, flora and fauna: chamois, marmots, ibex.
After the Pas des Ladres, we chose to take theGR®52via the alternative route that passes close to the Col de Fenestre, then descends to Lac de Fenestre before reaching La Madone de Fenestre.
Three sections are particularly difficult: between Lac de Trecolpas and the Pas des Ladres, the ascent of the Pas du Colomb, and the descent from the Pas du Colomb.

Second stage of the route and first stage on theGR®52. A long 21km stage taking in the Col de Veillos, numerous lakes, the Col du Barn, the Vacherie du Collet and the Col de Salèse, ending at a place called Le Boréon.
A spectacular stage thanks to its landscapes and views, but very difficult.

Departure from Saint-Martin-Vésubie (Alpes-Maritimes)
TheGR® 52 is a route that crosses the Mercantour National Park, through the Alpes-Maritimes from Saint-Dalmas-de-Valdeblore to Menton.
ThisGR® route is very challenging due to the varied terrain and significant elevation changes.
You’ll reach altitudes of up to 2,700m, where you can admire the high-mountain landscapes, flora and fauna. Then, in the second half of the route, you’ll encounter panoramas that are more southern in character but just as extraordinary.
