Hello!
I am new to this forum and it’s my first posting :)
We are travelling to Nice in late June and would like to spend some time in Mercantour Parc. I looks beautiful and there seems to be a lot of different walking routes to take and villages to visit. So many options!
Would love to hear from others who’s been there,
We are a family with two boys 8 and 11 that can walk about 12 km in varied terrain but have not walked in alpine terrain before. We have done day hikes but never hiked several days. We live in a fairly flat part of Sweden (Stockholm) and my oldest son says he loves the mountains. I would like this to be a nice experience for him.
One idea was to stay at a refuge one or two nights and do a day hike in the area. For example in the Vallée des Merveilles.
What’s it like staying at a refuge?
Is Vallée des Merveilles good for day hikes?
Best regards
Carl
