Make the most out of your holiday to Isola 2000 with this guided afternoon walking tour!

Isola 2000 is a popular mountain resort located about 90km from Nice. Nestled in the French Alps near the border with Italy, the town also sits on the edge of the Mercantour National Park, a park visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists each year. Isola 2000 is a year-round destination for those who want to want to explore the natural beauty of the French Alps.

This summer, join me for a 2.5 hour guided walking tour of Isola 2000 and learn more about the botany, geology, and history of this special place! Not only will you learn about the beautiful alpine flora and fauna native to the region, I will also share the fascinating history of the place, from its military history to how it came to be developed as a ski resort. Kids will love the opportunity to search for the different insects and amphibians that inhabit the area. Lastly, I am happy to suggest my favorite hiking routes for those who wish to further explore the area on their own.

This activity is suitable for all levels and ages. I can customize the route so that it is very easy to medium difficult, depending on the preferences and abilities of the group. This is an afternoon activity, and we will leave from the tourist office of Isola 2000 at 2:00pm. I offer a special price for children, and families are only charged for the first child.

Nature is for me a fabulous field of investigation . Colors, scents, sounds are always present and reveal us so many sensations.
My hometown is Nice on the French Riviera and I explore my region from the Mediterranean shores to the highest peaks of the Mercantour National Park. In the summer time on foot, and in the winter with snowshoeing.

I am looking forward to guiding you in my region, sharing the vision of chamois, marmots and ibexes, on the tracks of wolves, and with a golden eagle in the sky.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
