... an unusual escapade a stone's throw away!

If you’re dreaming of pure air and picturesque places, southern villages and middle mountain, unusual but still reachable…

Then welcome to Tende the ‘Valley of Marvels’!('Vallée des Merveilles')

This place has been inhabited by generations of shepherds, lords and bandits, so come and feel the real thing in the fabulous surroundings of the Mercantour National Park.

Medieval village down the ‘Salt-Road’, high altitude valleys and lakes, pre-historical sites like Fontanalba and the 'Vallée des Merveilles', endemic fauna and flora under wildlife protection schemes, typical local food and produce, extreme sports or calmer pastimes for all the family…

At the crossroads between Italian Piedmont and French Provence; a stone’s throw away from the Riviera but still secluded, a unique place to breathe:

TENDE... a big cupfull of pure air, history and traditions!
