Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée

Highlight • Settlement

Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée is a pretty mountain town of 1,400 inhabitants, located in the heart of the Mercantour National Park.

Famous in winter for its ski resort of Auron, the city does not lose its charm in summer since it is crossed by the mythical GR 5.

In the village made of narrow streets, many shops offer accommodation and catering.

Camp des Fourches military camp

Highlight • Historical Site

The Camp des Fourches was part of a set of fortifications protecting the Ubaye valley from potential Italian attacks. This barracks in particular was used by alpine hunters whose mission was to defend the Col des Fourches.

The department wished to preserve and enhance this work, in memory of the mountain troops who fought during the First and Second World Wars. On the site, a set of explanatory panels recounts the history of this place.

View of the beautiful route to the Col de la Bonette

Highlight • Other

Equally spectacular on the way up or down. In 06/2019, the road condition on the entire southern ramp was very neat, so downhill a very enjoyable driving was possible.

The Waterfall - Torrent de Vens

Highlight • Waterfall

A beautiful waterfall rushes here directly next to the road to the valley - the cool air, which he brings, is at the driveway welcome cooling. In the downhill, you may hardly notice this gem of nature, in the narrow hairpin bends, it is advisable to focus attention on the track.
