History of Val-de-Blore

Val-de-Blore is a glacial valley which links the Tinée valley to that of Vésubie. Its history has followed that of Comté de Nice. In 1947, the Paris treaty restored to the commune the territory given to Italy in 1860, notably the village of Mollières, in the heart of the Park. It is also the “Val” which opens to the west (Tinée), via the areas of “Blore” (Bloura in the local patois), which means “very steep grassy slope between forests and boulders”.
It was therefore the ideal place to set up a ski station, la Colmiane, which was founded in 1931 under the initiative of the Nice skiing club.
