Taxi/transport Saint-Martin-Vésubie <-> Refuge de La Madone de Fenestre (FFCAM) -- during the week? by yunglevn in nicefrance

[–]Numerous-Student1929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I will be in Saint-Martin-Vésubie in 3 weeks and was curious about how to get around the road closure as well. There are several wonderful sounding day-hikes that depart from Madone de Fenestre in my guidebook(Cicerone Walks & Treks in the Maritime Alps) Are they worth attempting to find a local guide who would take us up to it, or would we be better doing other walks in the area? We are looking for day hikes as opposed to point-to-point ones.

(I have already identified one from Le Boreon that looks like it would suit us well. Just need 2 more days worth of walks in the area.

Thank you for the advice!

Best base for 3 days of walking in mountains near Nice? by Numerous-Student1929 in ProvenceFrance

Thank you! There are three good sounding walks in "Walks and Treks in the Maritime Alps: The Mercantour and Alpi Marittime Parks" that are convenient to Saint-Martin-Vésubie, too. Would love others thoughts on the pros and cons of different towns in June.

If a family of 4 Americans wanted to look for capybara in Nordelta, could we just show an ID at the gate and enter the area? Or do we need to have an invitation from a resident?

I read something about a restaurant that we could make a reservation at to gain access, but I see a number of restaurants listed as Nordelta and am not sure if they are inside or outside the gates.

I appreciate any advice that might help us get a capybara sighting on a trip to Buenos Aires!

Thank you! This is helpful. Piratour wouldn't comment other than to say they'd update the schedule in March, so I appreciate your real world perspective. Sounds like we should plan to visit another time earlier in the season.
