Saint-Martin-Vésubie

Highlight • Settlement

Saint-Martin-Vésubie is the last village before the Mercantour National Park. It is also a very special place for those who love nature and canyoning in particular.

Many courses are close to the village.

The village itself is really adorable. The town was terribly affected by the terrible flood of October 2, 2020, and although almost 2 years have passed, the effects of the meteorological disaster are still visible on certain buildings near the river.

Saint-Martin Pass (La Colmiane)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Col Saint Martin is an Alpine pass that connects the Vésubie valley with the Tinée valley. It is 1,500 meters high and the climb on both sides is quite challenging, with a length of approximately 16 kilometers and gradients between 5 and 9%. Enjoy the spectacular panorama, with views of the mountains of the Mercantour National Park and the Tinée and Vésubie valleys.

Great scenic view at the surrounding mountains and villages in the valley down below, if you're coming from Col Saint-Martin going down to the village of Saint-Martin-Vésubie.

Magnificent views of the surrounding mountains and the mountain villages in the valley as you descend from the Col Saint-Martin towards Saint-Martin-Vésubie.
