GR®52
From Entraunes to Menton (Alpes-Maritimes)
The GR®52 long-distance hiking trail crosses the Mercantour National Park, offering contrasting landscapes from granite peaks to coastal olive groves. The area boasts a rich heritage, notably the rock engravings of the Vallée des Merveilles (Valley of Wonders), true testaments to the Bronze Age. As for wildlife, hikers often encounter chamois, ibex and bearded vultures. The flora adapts to the altitude, ranging from sub-Alpine meadows filled with gentians and arnicas to the Mediterranean garrigue near Menton, making this trail one of the most botanically diverse in France.
