    Wonderful descent towards Refuge des Merveilles. Attention: stricter rules apply here than in the rest of the national park. Staying at the lakes is forbidden, no pointed sticks, don't leave the paths... There are also a lot of checks here, but always good-natured, at least here.

      The Pas de l'Arpette (2511 m) is the gateway to the Merveilles Valley, from Vésubie. Effort and beautiful emotions guaranteed.

      From the Gordolasque car park, cross the Countet bridge (1692 m) and turn right at milestone 412, in the direction of Pas de l'Arpette (2511 m), which you reach after crossing the Empuonrame valley. Then we can move to the Merveilles Valley, which can be visited in the company of a guide approved by the Mercantour National Park to observe the more than 40,000 rock carvings, the oldest dating back to the Copper Age and the beginning of the Bronze Age. . Age. The return is made by the same route.
