Royal Baroque Route Mountain Train Experience Through the Alps and Medieval Villages


Embark on an extraordinary eleven-hour mountain train experience that takes you deep into the heart of the Alps. This journey follows the Royal Baroque Route, passing through dramatic canyons, impressive viaducts, and long tunnels that showcase the engineering marvels of the region. As you travel through three distinct valleys, you will be treated to fresh mountain air and breathtaking landscapes that feel worlds away from the bustling coast of the French Riviera.


The tour focuses on exploring hidden gems and picturesque medieval villages, including one officially labeled as one of the most beautiful villages in France. You will have the opportunity to visit medieval jewels, including ancient castle ruins, a historic monastery, and a Bronze Age Museum. The itinerary includes a shuttle bus to help you jump between villages, allowing you to explore these authentic locations through spectacular roads that wind through the mountains.


Lunch is included at one of the best restaurants in the valley, where you can enjoy local cuisine while surrounded by unspoiled nature. The region is rich in history, with stories of wars and glory from the times of Napoleon and World War II. You will notice the unique Italian atmosphere that persists in these mountain towns, a testament to the complex history of the area before it became part of France.


This adventure is perfect for those who want to experience the authentic countryside of Nice. With a mix of train travel, short hikes, and village exploration, it offers a deep dive into the baroque atmosphere and the rugged beauty of the Alpine landscape. Please note that a moderate level of physical fitness is required for the walking portions, which include some uphill sections to reach the monastery and the castle ruins.
