Description
Discover the beauty of the French Prealps by joining an easy snowshoeing program in the mountains on this 1-day trip in Massif de l’Authion.
Situated in the Mercantour National Park, near Col de Turini, Massif de l’Authion is a range from the Nice Prealps, in the Alpes-Maritimes department. This area is famous for its historical significance. From the Napoleonic Wars to World War II, several battles took place in the region and there are plenty of ruins of old fortresses to discover.
Furthermore, Authion is a fantastic place to explore due to its spectacular views. On this 1-day snowshoeing program, we’ll reach Pointe des Troys Communes (2,080 meters), the highest peak in the massif. Additionally, we’ll also catch sight of the Mercantour National Park, the Marguareis Natural Park in Italy, Corsica and the Mediterranean Sea.
A great thing about this trip is that it allows us to discover a beautiful natural area without great effort. We’ll go up a 2,000-meter peak and face an elevation gain of 300 meters, so although a good level of fitness is necessary, you don’t need prior experience to join.
So, do you think this snowshoeing program would suit you? Then don’t hesitate to send your request. I’ll be glad to be your guide!
Another great option to enjoy snowshoeing in the Mercantour National Park could be this 1-day trip that I lead to Belvédère. Check it out!

Mountain Leader
My passion is hiking and it has been since I was a child. I am a Mountain Leader, ready to make you gain altitude!
My goal is to live adventures in a wild nature. And there are as many possibilities as varied landscapes and seasons!
Always looking for new spaces, privileged and authentic moments, a preserved and wild nature... It's above all about plenitude and contemplation, trying each time to understand the beauty of the sceneries.
I am a former lawyer, also ski patroller specialized in nivology and meteorology. I cross the massif ski touring during the winter for my own pleasure.

What people are saying about Fabrice
I booked a tour with Fabrice on late May, definitely the highlight of my holiday, we went on a hike around Casterino It was a relaxed hike with great sights of mountain forests and lakes, I got to see some of the local fauna and flora of the park, ibex, marmots, chamois, although not as much as they would be in the area, possibly because of the wolfs (we saw some footprints). Overall it is a great way to see the surroundings. I would definitely recommend Fabrice as a guide for your next hike!
