5.8 km

Mountain bike tour (AE) Brouis pass - Mount Grazian panorama

Superb ridge walk on a track, technically easy and short. Arrival at the top of Mount Grazian, breathtaking 360° view of the sea to the south and the eastern end of the Mercantour with Mount Bego and the Marguareis massif to the extreme north-east. Park at the Col de Brouis, altitude 879 m, located between Sospel and Breil-sur-Roya on the RD 2204.

It will pass quickly to the south. Continue straight ahead (do not take the track that goes left towards the antennas and the cime du Bosc). You follow the GR52 A route up to the marker 119 at the Col de Paula. There, the GR will go down on the right by a path, You take the right track. (The track on the left leads to the very pretty perched hamlet of Piene-Haute: on the way back you can choose to make a detour to visit this eagle's nest, its churches and chapel and its castle, and enjoy the breathtaking view). Along the way you will see some old border markers. A few hairpin bends and you are at the top of Mount Grazian, which dominates Sospel and its fields, nothing stopping your vision, Mount Grazian being an isolated summit. Return by the same route. Remember to take water, the route is in full sun. Avoid the hottest hours of the day in midsummer; in summer, early mornings or evenings are best.

Hiking: Notre-Dame du Mont loop

A lovely walk for families, in a bucolic setting along the small Lavina stream, culminating in the magnificent site of the Notre-Dame du Mont chapel nestled among the multi-centenary olive trees of Breil. From the Breil tourist office, turn right onto the RD 6204 to cross Lac de Breil via the Pont Charabot. Go straight up and under the railroad viaduct (marker 7), and turn left at the crossroads. Immediately take the Chemin des Gravères, marker 7a, on your right. This little footpath initially weaves its way between houses, then narrows and approaches the Lavina torrent, which you cross on a cement bridge. The path continues to run parallel to the torrent, then bends and climbs to the right, leading to a track. Keep to the right and you'll soon reach the small road to Notre-Dame du Mont. The chapel is there, on your right by the roadside: take a picnic break, nap or enjoy a pleasant snack under the olive trees! Head back down to Breil on the quiet little road that offers magnificent views of the village, its lake and the summit of Arpette. Don't miss the shortcut via the montée de la Croix on your right, marker 8a (on the left of the road), a flight of stairs between houses and olive trees that takes you to the avenue de l'Authion (marker 8), and back to your starting point on the right. If you wish, you can turn left once you've reached Avenue de l'Authion, to admire the colorful little chapel of Saint-Antoine de Padoue a little further to your left, and catch a glimpse of the Romanesque bell tower of Saint-Jean.

Piène Haute hamlet
7.2 km

Piène Haute hamlet

The hamlet of Piène Haute has 60 inhabitants in the winter and 150 in the summer. The ruins of the old castle testify to its age. Its name «Piène Haute» has sparked many debates during this long history. Primitively “Penna” and then “Penna Alta” (some translate «Piène Haute») it has turned into «Piena» not to confuse it with another «Penna», located in Abruzzo. The name of Piène Haute was definitively retained in 1947 when it came to France. The hamlet of Piène-Haute (600 m altitude) is relatively isolated due to its original military location (a medieval Genoese stronghold). Access by road was only created after the village became part of France. The village overlooks the Roya on a 200m-high cliff, with a very wide view of the Mercantour peaks and the sea. The village as a whole is spectacular, both for its linear layout and for the well-preserved homogeneity of its appearance. The church of Saint-Marc, a Historic Monument, features Baroque Ligurian decoration from the early 18th century. The Chapel of the White Penitents (Monuments Historiques) has preserved its neo-Gothic decor from the late 19th century. The small houses in the hamlet, like the roads, are carefully maintained and planted with flowers by the locals, who maintain a pleasant overall unity. Château de Piène-Haute (private) is a former Genoese stronghold of medieval origin (11th-17th centuries), built on a rocky ridge at the end of the hamlet, overlooking the Roya.
