Description
Make the most out of your holiday to Isola 2000 with this guided afternoon walking tour!
Isola 2000 is a popular mountain resort located about 90km from Nice. Nestled in the French Alps near the border with Italy, the town also sits on the edge of the Mercantour National Park, a park visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists each year. Isola 2000 is a year-round destination for those who want to want to explore the natural beauty of the French Alps.
This summer, join me for a 2.5 hour guided walking tour of Isola 2000 and learn more about the botany, geology, and history of this special place! Not only will you learn about the beautiful alpine flora and fauna native to the region, I will also share the fascinating history of the place, from its military history to how it came to be developed as a ski resort. Kids will love the opportunity to search for the different insects and amphibians that inhabit the area. Lastly, I am happy to suggest my favorite hiking routes for those who wish to further explore the area on their own.
This activity is suitable for all levels and ages. I can customize the route so that it is very easy to medium difficult, depending on the preferences and abilities of the group. This is an afternoon activity, and we will leave from the tourist office of Isola 2000 at 2:00pm. I offer a special price for children, and families are only charged for the first child.
Join me now for this walking tour of Isola 2000, and explore the town while learning about its flora, fauna, and history! I guarantee that it will be the perfect introduction to your holiday in Isola 2000 and the Mercantour National Park!

Nature is for me a fabulous field of investigation . Colors, scents, sounds are always present and reveal us so many sensations.
My hometown is Nice on the French Riviera and I explore my region from the Mediterranean shores to the highest peaks of the Mercantour National Park. In the summer time on foot, and in the winter with snowshoeing.
I am looking forward to guiding you in my region, sharing the vision of chamois, marmots and ibexes, on the tracks of wolves, and with a golden eagle in the sky.

Richard delivered exactly what I was hoping for. The choice of route suited me perfectly; he fitted in with my timelines which was important to me and the cherry on top was that he was a delight to walk with and chat to for 3 hours. If I was here a little longer, I’d do another one and definitely will when I come back. Thank you ☺️
