Beuil-Les-Launes

This picturesque village in the Mediterranean Alps, only 78 km away from Nice, is the gateway to the renowned Mercantour National Park. A stop-off in these Red-rocked Gorges of the Cians*** and Daluis, BEUIL offers you the perfect holiday in the mountains giving you the opportunity to play sport, explore the magnificent scenery or just relax.
The clock tower of a church rising from a snow-covered valley, a village perched on top of a craggy hill, the Summer lavender and its unforgettable Mediterranean scent, giving way gradually to the proud larch-trees, the harbingers of Alpine heights - these are images which will remain in your memory for ever. Here they are, all around, the sunlit, peaceful and eternal Alps. Here are the skiing fields of Beuil, where winter sports were launched some seventy years ago in the Alpes Maritimes. The ski pistes now join with those in Valberg, running along the Mercantour National Park, which jealously protects the astonishingly varied fauna and flora in Southern Alps. If you have never been in Beuil, you will fall in love with this spectacular medieval village which literally springs into view as you drive out of the awe-inspiring Gorges du Cians, proudly displaying its rich historical past, ruled for centuries by the Grimaldi family, now reigning over Monaco. Beuil has everything that will attract skiers as well as hikers, bikers and all nature lovers.
