Sporty Day Trips from Nice, France: Coastal Trails + Estérel Mountains | French Riviera Travel Guide

Here are some great ideas for day trips from Nice, France: Anja + Aila will show you the best coastal trails and their favorite winter hiking area, the Estérel Mountains! If you want to discover some of the most beautiful spots around Nice on foot, winter is the perfect time. Spring and fall are also fine! You can enjoy clear views, soak up some sun, and the temperatures are perfect for outdoor activities.
Anja + Aila will be taking you to well-known capes like Cap Ferrat and Cap d’Antibes, and a few more… If you happen to be on the Côte d’Azur in July or August, there are beautiful beaches and rocks that are great for sunbathing all along the capes you’ll see. Just don’t plan on hour-long walks in the peak of summer!
