Coastal Hike Nice → Villefranche-sur-Mer + Beach Stop
Sun-bathed coastal trail from Nice to Villefranche-sur-Mer with a final beach swim. Panoramic views, hidden coves, Mediterranean swim — the Riviera on foot.
The most beautiful coastal hike of the Riviera
Leave the buzz of Nice for the picturesque port of Villefranche-sur-Mer via the coastal trail. A gentle 4-hour walk along panoramas, secret coves and the unmistakable scent of pine and salt — finishing with a Mediterranean swim.
Your French / English-speaking guide walks you past Mont Boron, Fort du Mont Alban, the protected paths of Cap de Nice, and the glorious arrival on the Bay of Villefranche — one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Small group, paced for comfort, optional swim.
