When we think of Nice Côte d’Azur, we imagine the sea and the sun... However, just a few kilometres from the coast, winter offers a completely different setting: snow-covered forests, peaceful valleys and magnificent panoramic views. It is the ideal spot to (re)discover cross-country skiing, an activity accessible to all. The region's Nordic sites offer groomed and marked trails, sometimes with beginner areas for a gentle introduction to the sport. Cross-country skiing allows you to glide in silence, far from the hustle and bustle, alone, in pairs or with your family, at your own pace, for a leisurely stroll or a more athletic workout.
