Hiking
We walk through the Valley of Wonders among landscapes of colored stones polished by glaciers (the “Ciappe”), dotted with mountain lakes. The emblematic Valley of Wonders, with a mineral appearance, offers its austere and chaotic beauty to visitors, while Fontanalba is greener and is home to flora that reveals all its richness.
As for animals, protected fauna is also very present in these places that, remember, belong to the Mercantour National Park.
