Nice to San Remo
A Long Weekend along a cross-border coast shaped by mountains and sea.
A multi-adventure journey shaped by Mediterranean light and the gentle pull of the coast — moving from limestone headlands above the sea into olive-covered hills and Italian shores. Over four days, the Riviera subtly transforms as France gives way to Liguria, blending hiking, cycling, and time on the water into a relaxed rhythm of movement and pause.
HIGHLIGHTS :
• Hike the Riviera headlands, moving between limestone viewpoints, open horizons, and sweeping Mediterranean light
• Ride coastal paths and foothill backroads, linking sea-level tracks with olive-covered slopes and inland ridgelines
• Taste two lands and cultures, discovering French Riviera freshness and Ligurian simplicity through local food and drink
• Discover borderland gems, from layered coastal towns to artsy hilltop enclaves and everyday Italian Riviera life
• Experience the coast from the water, drifting past coves, headlands, and softened Mediterranean shorelines

Group size depends on whether the trip is private or open.
Private trips have no fixed minimum or maximum. For the best overall experience, we generally recommend keeping groups under 16 guests. For very small private groups (under 4 guests), a small-group premium may apply to cover fixed logistics and staffing costs.
Open trips are intentionally capped at around 16 guests, ensuring smooth logistics, strong group dynamics, and a more personal experience.
Any group-size considerations will be clearly confirmed during the planning process and detailed in your Trip Doc.
