Mont Vinaigrier

Mont Vinaigrier reaches an elevation of 370 meters and features numerous hiking trails through a protected natural area of 24 hectares.

Ancient Ligurian communities left traces of their agricultural activities through cyclopean walls and sophisticated irrigation systems still visible on the mountain slopes.

The mountain contains traditional dry stone terraces supporting century-old olive trees that continue to produce olives harvested by local specialized workers.

Multiple access points lead to the mountain trails from Nice, with detailed maps and guidance available at the main entrance near Villefranche-sur-Mer.

The mountain hosts sixty bird species and seven reptile species, including the Wall Lizard, while rare plants like Nice Snowdrops grow among the limestone formations.
