Visit the Balcons d’Azur and their villages

The Alpes-Maritimes coast captivates at first glance with its mountains plunging into the sea. In Toulon, a cable car takes you directly to Mont Faron, where the view of the city, the surrounding hills, and the Mediterranean is breathtaking. In the hinterland of Nice, the Préalpes d’Azur Regional Nature Park offers a myriad of hiking trails. It’s the perfect way to focus on exploration during your camping trip in the 06 department!

If you’re looking for a mountain campground in the Alpes-Maritimes, the Mercantour National Park —just 2 hours from the coast—is also a great option. In this national park, the peaks reach 3,000 m. While you can, of course, enjoy the thrills of mountaineering, many high-altitude passes are also accessible to everyone thanks to their paved roads, such as the Col de la Cayolle at 2,324 m or the Col d’Allos at 2,250 m. You’ll immediately find yourself immersed in a mountain atmosphere, just a stone’s throw from the chamois and ibex that call these hills home…
