Ibex in the sky w/ Fab

patrickmB2435QV, Nov 2024

Fab is a great, experienced, professional, and friendly guide. The hike was breathtaking and we even experienced a lot of wildlife despite not expecting to! This has been the best joke I've been on and Fab helped us get there as he knows all the great spots. This was one of the most memorable experience of our time in Europe.

Fab is also very friendly. He is a very experienced outdoorsman and makes great conversation.

The best hiking tour on the French riviera.

This tour was so much fun! Fabrice is an excellent guide, full of energy and enthusiasm. We learned so much during this hike, and he really kept the pace nice and easy for everyone in the group.

Hiking with Fabrice.

Our family did a recent 3 day hike with Fabrice. He was a superb guide in every way. Extremely knowledgable about the flora, fauna, geology and history of the area, and shared his knowledge enthusiastically. Friendly and helpful at every step of the way, making the arrangements at the refuges, transporting our group at beginning and end of the trip. An overall fantastic experience!

A wonderful alpine hike

After setting up the booking, I was able to get in touch with Fabrice through WhatsApp. He was very responsive and considerate and after carefully considering our abilities and our gear, he picked out a fantastic hike near the Col de l'Authion, above the Torini pass.

We were picked up from the Nice Riquier train station by Fabrice and were expertly driven up into the mountains. Along the way, Fabrice told us about local history and ecosystems and pointed out many points of interest.

Once we got to the trail head, Fabrice took very good care of us - he brought hiking poles and water and offered suggestions for clothing as we headed out. During the hike, he regaled us with more history and cultural information and pointed out alpine flowers and wildlife. When the hike got more difficult, he made sure we took our time, used the proper breathing techniques, and paced ourselves. As a result, the hike was very enjoyable for all four of us, regardless of our varying levels of fitness. His knowledge of the area allowed us to have stunning views of several chamois, as well as some Griffon Vultures and a female Black Grouse. All the while, Fabrice kept an eye on the weather which ensured we returned to the car without incident, tired but thrilled with a wonderful hike. Merci, Fabrice!

If you ever journey to the French Riviera and are looking for a guide to take you out into the Alps, Fabrice should be at the top of the list.

Thanks a lot for your complete report and very nice review ! Yes this hike is not very far from Nice, quite easy and offers many large views around. And luckyly we can see some wildlife too ! See you maybe for more adventures in our region with alpine lakes and maybe alpine hut trekking next time to see even more fauna ! ;)

An all around great experience

Our group of 5 family members hiked Mercantour Park with Fabrice for 3 days, staying in refuges along the way. It was a truly special trip for us. Beautiful vistas and scenery, challenging trails that Fabrice helped us navigate with no problem, fascinating ancient petroglyphs, and wonderful company. Fabrice spent a good deal of time communicating with me before our trip to make sure he organized a hike that met our every desire - just the right amount of challenging hiking and interesting sights. He is super knowledgeable about so many subjects - the history of the region, the flora and fauna, the little detours to more interesting paths and scenery, etc. I highly recommend exploring this corner of the Alps with Fabrice!
