Nice Côte d'Azur also offers mountains just 1.5 hours from the sea. In winter, the peaks of the Mercantour are blanketed in pristine white, and the villages nestled in the valleys become havens for winter sports enthusiasts. Whether it's downhill skiing, a peaceful snowshoe hike, or meeting local producers, the peaks of Nice Côte d'Azur never fail to surprise those who venture there.
New this winter: the Snow & Summits Pass at €15 which gives access to benefits ranging from 5% to 50% discount on more than 20 partner activities in Auron, Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée, Saint-Dalmas-le-Selvage, Roubion and Isola 2000.
The must-dos: ski passes, ice skating, ski touring or snowshoeing, snowmobile rides. Ideal family activities: snake gliss or airboard tobogganing. For immersion and authenticity: a visit to a craft brewery or a raclette hike at the summit.
A game-changing pass for those who enjoy multiple mountain outings during the winter and want to take advantage of several resorts without breaking the bank. It's the perfect way to transform winter weekends into true alpine escapes, just an hour and a half from the Mediterranean.
