From the Col du Berceau, located at an altitude of 1,050 meters, you have the first incredible views of the town of Menton and the sea. There is in fact a flat area at this pass, surrounded by two peaks, the Roc de Restaud and that of Orméa. The whole thing unequivocally evokes the shape of a cradle.

So it’s a cozy little nest with lawn and pine forest that awaits you. The place really invites you to sit back and relax before the last stage which leads to Plan du Lion and then to Garavan.

Arrived at the col du Berceau, you will have to climb the 2 peaks, on its right and its left, which are to be done absolutely, and transcend the hike.

Small green oasis between two peaks. Small fireplace invites you to grill.
Several paths cross here.
