From Lyon, you will reach Nice Saint-Augustin at the end of the day by combining a OUIGO and a TER ZOU train. After spending the night near the airport, you will take a summer bus the next morning to Saint-Dalmas, a charming mountain village at the gateway to the Mercantour.

There, you can pick up a picnic at the Boulangerie du Terroir before setting off on a hike accompanied by... a donkey! This long-eared companion makes the climb easier, especially if you're traveling with children. After about four hours of walking, return to the village for a fun and surprising activity: a connected exploration game in the style of an escape game in the heart of nature.

At the end of the day, head to a local farm to meet the valley's producers, before returning to La Colmiane for a night in an ecolodge perched among the fir trees.

The next day, thrills are on the agenda with a summer toboggan run and a flight on the longest zip line in France! After a well-deserved Savoyard lunch at Frankie's, you'll head back to Nice train station for a direct return trip to Lyon. A condensed adventure and landscape tour in just two days, without ever touching the wheel. And to go further, you can read the experience of Églantine here!
