The route
The route varies between mountain trails, woodland, old paths connecting the villages and coastal trails along the Mediterranean. You encounter longer ascents and descents, uneven and sometimes rocky terrain, as well as more open sections with wonderful views across the Côte d’Azur. Around Mont Baudon, Èze and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in particular, the scenery changes beautifully between mountains, villages and coastline.
Itinerary
You arrive in Menton, beautifully situated on the Mediterranean close to the Italian border. If time allows, explore the old town and some of the town’s lovely gardens before the walking begins the following day.
Hotel (example): Hôtel Lemon
You leave the coast behind and make your way into the mountains above Menton. Along the way, you pass small, atmospheric villages such as Castellar, while the views over the Mediterranean become increasingly impressive. Today’s destination is Sainte-Agnès, dramatically situated high above the coast.
Hotel (example): Auberge Le Saint-Yves
From Sainte-Agnès, the route leads through pine forest and continues towards Mont Baudon at 1,266 metres above sea level. From the summit, you are rewarded with magnificent 360-degree views across both the mountains and the Mediterranean. You then descend towards Peille, another characterful mountain village, before a taxi transfer takes you on to La Turbie.
Hotel (example): Hotel Napoleon
The day begins in La Turbie, where you have the opportunity to explore the historic centre and the Roman Trophy of Augustus. From here, you follow a panoramic route through the Grande Corniche Nature Park with beautiful views across the Côte d’Azur. Later, you reach Èze, a picturesque medieval village of cobbled streets and old stone houses. The day finishes with the descent towards the sea along the steep Nietzsche Path before continuing to Beaulieu-sur-Mer.
Hotel (example): Hotel Ibis Style
You follow a marked trail along the beautiful coastline around Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. The route continues through Villefranche-sur-Mer and towards Nice, with fine views of the Mediterranean along the way. Your hotel is centrally located in Nice, making it easy to explore the city after the day’s walk.
Hotel (example): Hôtel Campanile***
The tour ends after breakfast. If you have time before your onward journey, you can explore the old town, visit the flower market or enjoy one last stroll along the famous Promenade des Anglais.

When you book a trip with us, we plant a tree in Kenya.
Bering Travel partners with Growing Trees Network, which has been planting trees in Kenya since 2020 in collaboration with Seniorer uden Grænser (Seniors Without Borders). The trees are planted with small-scale local farmers in the Mount Kenya region, as well as at schools, where the fruit helps supplement students’ diets and is incorporated into their learning.
The trees are planted using the shamba method – a sustainable approach that combines reforestation with agricultural crops. This keeps the soil covered with vegetation throughout the year, helping to prevent nutrient loss and reduce erosion.
The contribution to tree planting comes directly from Bering Travel’s own earnings and is not added to the price of your trip.
This initiative is not intended as a carbon offset for travel, but as a way to make a positive contribution.
