21 June 2025 Hiking Above Tende

Lodging in Tende
Very Ikea but much preferred over any kind of hotel: it has a kitchen
Simple but spacious
Tende looked a bit the worse for wear
More of an Italian hill village than a part of the Côte d'Azur
Distressed?
But behind the grubby facades, an interesting village
What remains of a chateau
Church
Church from further up the hillside
We climbed towards les Rochers de St-Sauveur
There is a long via ferrata along these cliffs
We stayed on the trail
At the top, a route that we could've taken back down but did not
Looking back across the valley of La Roya
Surprisingly dangerous trail!
We preferred this
We took the side trail to the chapel
Said chapel
Back down in the town: verticality
