About this activity

We’ll pick you up by car from your chosen location and start with a visit to the Russian Cathedral, followed by Mont Boron Park and the Fort du Mont Alban—which offers a panoramic view. Then, it’s time for the hike!

This experience is a perfect blend of gentle hiking, local charm, and seaside relaxation. We’ll follow a sunny, scenic trail from Nice to Villefranche-sur-Mer, away from the usual tourist spots. Along the way, enjoy beautiful views, hidden corners, and the Mediterranean breeze at your own pace. It’s not a rushed tour or a strenuous hike — just a laid-back walk with a personal touch and a small group feel. The experience ends with a reward: a chill moment on the beach at Villefranche. Swim, relax, or just soak in the atmosphere. This is the French Riviera like locals enjoy it simple, natural, and unforgettable.
