Alpes Maritimes France

The author of this modest blog Ovalp.com is a little self-promotion inviting you to visit his photographer website. I offer you photos in a wide range of areas.

A beautiful Via Ferrata called Narreyroux awaits you in the valley of Vallouise. This is a family run. We offer two videos, including an interactive 360 °, and a 360 ° virtual tour to get a glimpse of the ride.

A little self-promotion in favor of the author and webmaster of the blog Ovalp.com, Gilles Ehrentrant who writes the lines you are reading. I practice professionally the job of web integrator and offers you a little overview of the services that I can offer to enhance your presence on the web.

A long hike from the Gordolasque valley, accessible from Vésubie in the Alpes-Maritimes. Nearly 1400 meters of elevation will offer you an exceptional panorama from Mont Blanc, the Swiss Alps, to the north, to Mercantour and to the Mediterranean Sea to the south.

A great idea for a weekend getaway, with friends, family or even alone is to make the tour of the Valley of Wonders in the Alpes Maritimes. It is a fairly long but historically interesting route, through the ancient engravings on the rock, and also presenting a fabulous natural attraction as the places are beautiful and the fauna varied and rich, especially in ungulates.

The French Riviera has attracted the world for over a century. A holiday resort for the European nobility, then the bourgeoisie and finally the largest number, it is a magnificent space, inevitably, heavily occupied by human constructions in its coastal zone. Aerial photos often allow a better understanding of what is happening between Cannes and Menton via Nice and Monaco...

Here are some pictures of the Gréolières les Neiges ski resort. It is the nearest ski resort to the sea and coastal areas (Nice, Cannes, Antibes etc...) of the Alpes-Maritimes department.

Here are some pictures of the Isola 2000 ski resort . This resort is located about 1h15 by car from Nice. It is probablyone of the best snow-covered resort in the Alpes-Maritimes.

The ski resort of Auron is part of the Mercantour ski resort with Isola resort. There are also common packages for both stations. Auron is located in the town of Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée (department of Alpes-Maritimes). An hour and a half of road allows you to reach the ski resort from Nice.

Nice is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Sweet in winter and lively in summer but always very cosmopolitan. The city has always attracted many artists, notably inspiring painters for its beautiful lights... especially the days after the rain.

Despite this terrible attack of July 14, 2016, Nice remains a festive city especially with its carnival which takes place in February each year for two weeks.

During the Nice Carnival, the neighboring city of Villefranche sur Mer organizes its own parade in an original way : the Combat Naval Fleuri created at the beginning of the XXth century is the equivalent of the Battle of Flowers in Nice.

The ski resort of Valberg is composed of several hills distributed in the communes of Péone, Guillaumes and Beuil. Just go from one to the other to browse the station.
