Come and join us for an unforgettable hiking adventure in the Maritime Alps. The last three days we will trek within the boundaries of the famous Mercantour Nationalpark with its incredible variety of plants and trees.

Provence is a region of south-eastern France on the Mediterranean Sea adjacent to Italy. Its topographical features range from fertile plains in the Rhône valley, marshlands in the Camargue and high mountains in the Haute Provence.

The Maritime Alps mountain range located in the south-western part of the Alps are shared by France and Italy. The foothills of the range stretch all the way down to the Mediterranean Sea, and the highest mountain is Punta Argentera at 10,900 feet. Large parts of the range belong to the Mercantour National Park in France and the Maritime Nature Park in Italy.

The Mercantour Nationalpark created in 1979 is one of seven national parks of France. It consists of a central uninhabited zone and a peripheral zone comprising 28 villages. The typical Mediterranean flora includes oaks, pines, larches and more than 2,000 flowering plants among them an endemic species of the saxifrage. Wildlife is abundant in the park: chamois, marmots, red deer, wild boar, ibex, mouflon (sheep), eagles and buzzards just to name a few.
