What is a perfect base for hiking in Marital Alps?

Question

I would like to spend approx. 5 days with my family (small kids 3-5 years old) in Marital Alps. I search for a place, reachable by public transport from Nice, where I could stay for the entire period in a hotel or an apartment. It should be a small town or a village in the mountains with some restaurants and mountains hiking walks for 4-5 days. I assume returning to the same accommodation every night.

I was considering St Martin Vesubie, but it does not seem to be easily reachable (I found no info on the web).

Answer 1

St-Martin Vésubie is a nice spot though. You've got a lot of hiking trails from the village and the area. It's weird you can't find info.

The vallée des Merveilles is also very famous and pretty, it's in the Roya Valley. There are some pretty villages (a bit secluded) like Saorge, Breil, Tende,...

You can reach both spots from Nice (St-Martin by bus and Breil-sur-Roya with the 'train des Merveilles').

Answer 2

Try to go near the Wonder Valley "Vallee des Merveilles" stay in little alps village north of Nice and enjoy beautiful Hikes.
