Descripción
Saorge (510m) es un pintoresco pueblo medieval elevado dentro del Parque Nacional Mercantour (685km²), en la región de la Costa Azul (conocida como Côte d'Azur). Está construido en forma de anfiteatro en el costado boscoso y escarpado de una montaña rugosa, con vista al Valle de Roya, en la frontera con Italia.
La Costa Azul se extiende por casi 25 kilómetros a lo largo del Mar Mediterráneo, entre las ciudades de Marsella y Martigues, dentro de la región de Provenza-Alpes-Costa Azul. Entre las atracciones de la región, hay numerosos pueblos en la cima de montañas, conocidos como pueblos elevados. Estos fueron construidos como fortalezas durante la Edad Media.
Dado su gran tamaño, ubicación e historia, Saorge es uno de los pueblos elevados más interesantes de la Costa Azul. Ubicado a una hora de Monte Carlo, la mayor parte del pueblo se desarrolló entre los siglos XV y XVII debido a su ubicación en la antigua ruta comercial de la sal que pasaba por allí. Mientras que tenía una población de más de 3,000 en 1860, hoy en día Saorge es hogar de poco más de 400 personas.
Durante nuestro recorrido, tomaremos la ruta de Peiremont y caminaremos por laderas soleadas a través de los muchos vestigios de épocas feudales presentes en el pueblo: antiguos puentes de piedra, pozos, fuentes, monumentos y edificios religiosos como iglesias de estilo romano y barroco, capillas y monasterios. El sendero se abre paso a través de estrechas y empinadas pasadizos y espectaculares terrazas cubiertas con hermosas orquídeas silvestres, uno de los iconos de Saorge, principalmente durante la primavera (mayormente en mayo). Una caminata final nos llevará a través de un bosque de pinos y alerces, y luego a un alto sendero con vistas increíbles del Valle de Roya, rodeado de bosques verdes y rugosas montañas de caliza blanca.
Este viaje está abierto para todos. El sendero circular no tiene dificultad técnica. Nos llevará alrededor de 3.5 horas e incluye un desnivel de 360 metros (100 ft.).

Líder de Montaña
I am a hiking guide (International Mountain Leader) who has been working all over France (including Provence and the Alps), Italy and Portugal since 2001. I speak fluent English due to my frequent trips to Taos Ski Valley (in New Mexico, USA where my family runs a great hotel and ski school), and my hiking trips in the American Southwest.
I live mainly in Nice (French Riviera), but I also move all over the Alps working in different alpine valleys. I often visit Martinique (French Caribbean island), where I enjoy rainforest and tropical hikes.
When I´m not guiding, I also work as a photographer, and like to climb, ski, play tennis, or kitesurf in my spare time. Additionally, I really enjoy botany and history.
I can guide you for a half day or for as many days as you like. I´ll take you to discover my favourite French Riviera alpine region, and the wild and large Mercantour National Park (counting 8 different valleys) near Nice, Monte Carlo and Cannes.
In my region we can enjoy the Mediterranean landscape at sea level. As we move into higher altitudes, we will discover alpine lakes, larch or pine forests, orchids and alpine flowers, open meadows, spectacular medieval perched villages and old baroque chapels and churches, with great historic value.
We can also discover the hiking hotspots in Provence such as Calanques National Park, Verdon gorges, Sainte Victoire and the Var region, with Saint Tropez a particular highlight.
I also love to hike in Italy in the very famous world heritage Cinque Terre (the amazing national park of the "Five Lands"), or in Liguria near San Remo.
And finally, I always enjoy taking my guests to the northern Alps: to Chamonix and Mont Blanc´s amazingly large panoramas or to the great Vanoise National Park, the largest in the heart of French Alps.

Lo que la gente dice sobre este viaje
Marc
Fabrice was the best! We had such a good time hiking the French Riviera. He was so knowledgeable about the history, geology, and local culture. Highly recommend him!
Wanda
We had a great time on this hike! Our guide Fabrice was excellent: very knowledgeable about all the geological, historical, and cultural aspects of Nice and the surrounding area. He made sure that we were comfortable with the pace of the hike, and the sites we wanted to visit. It was a wonderful experience that we would highly recommend.
Sue
Fabrice is a first-class guide! Taking into account last-minute weather changes and after assessing our fitness, he quickly customised an exciting itinerary that led us from the Préalpes to the beautiful hilltop villages of Gourdon, Tourettes-sur-Loup and Saint-Paul-de-Vence. He pointed out great photo opportunities, so we managed to take plenty of nicely-framed photos on our smartphones. Fabrice also introduced us to the game of pétanque and thanks to him, we were able to understand and appreciate the games as they were being played by the locals during our trip.
Laurice
Fabrice was a wonderful guide who was very knowledgable about the area - from geography, history to the animals and plants we saw on our hike, he had a story to tell for all of them! He was incredibly nice to drive us to the mountains and back our Airbnb (only around 1.5 hours into the mountain) and the hike that we settled on was perfect - we saw multiple groups of ibexes and chamois, took in the wonderful Alps scenery and ended our hike at a beautiful alpine lake. I can’t recommend the experience more since it added so much to our trip in the Riviera, it was a truly differentiated experience. Would definitely be back again.
