MTB, cycling and hiking
Our location at the top of a hill gives the perfect backdrop for hiking. We recommend the ‘Pista ciclabile’ along the sea between Ospedaletti and Santo Stefano and the ‘Alta Via dei Monti Liguri’ (Ligurian Mountains’ High Way), a path that runs for over 250 kilometres all the way across Liguria, from Ceparana (near the Tuscan border) to Ventimiglia.

On the French side, the ‘Customs officers’ path’, also called ‘Promenade Le Corbusier’, offers a stunning walk along the coast from Monte Carlo to Menton.
Skiing
In winter you also have easy access to great skiing destinations in the Italian Alps, like Limone Piedmont which is just over an hour’s drive.
