A great breath of fresh air!

Experience the Mountain Train through the Alps and discover an historic, emblematic rail line that connects dramatic landscapes with authentic village life. The itinerary takes you to two remarkable villages shaped by singular histories and abundant wildlife. Expect a very surprising hike among sandstone blocks that create a striking "rain of meteors" effect, alongside rock shelters and a distinctive geological site known as the "King's Room."

Wander into a forest of centuries-old chestnut trees and be captivated by the wonderful diversity of scenery, from sculpted stone formations to shaded woodland valleys.

The second village is equally compelling: explore the Royal Castle and the Citadel of Entrevaux with its medieval drawbridge and a majestic fortress that looks out over the Var Valley. Along the way, you will find many hidden gems and photographic viewpoints, ideal for curious travellers who enjoy discovery off the usual routes.

This full-day, off-the-beaten-track experience blends rail travel, walking and cultural discovery, delivering a memorable mix of geology, history and village charm.
