Program:

Day 1:

The Roya and Nervia valleys are situated in the Southern Alps in the hinterland of the French

and Italian Riviera

The rail, road and airport networks from the UK to us are all very good,   

so  you have a big choice of how to get here. Fly to the nearest airports or take a train to the nearest train stations and then you either rent a car or make the transfer with us. Having a car in the valley is generally recommended.

We can arrange trains and rent cars for you or book flights.

We can also help with information and advice about airport parkings or airport hotels.

The nearest city is Nice, the nearest airport is Nice International Airport. the nearest TGV station

is Nice and the local train station is Ventimiglia (40mn from Nice)

By road Paris-Lyon-Marseille-Nice-Ventimiglia

Accomodation in the farmhouse in rooms from 1 to 6 places, bed linen provided, toilet bags not provided.

Canyoning Audin: easy

Private microbus (10mn) to the entry of the Audin, ideal for families (children minimum age 8 years). Lots of jumps (maxi 8m) toboggans (one of 10m ), no abseiling.

The color of the water (you can drink it!), the size of the natural swimming pool, the temperature of the water (20°C in summer) make for one of the most popular trips of the region. 35mn-walk, back 15mn. Duration 3h

Canyoning is a sports activity allowing you to discover the fascination  of  deep waters: swimming in natural pools, abseiling in waterfalls and diving  in crystal clear lake waters.
