The valley, crossed by the Roya River, winds through a picturesque mountain landscape. Your perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the coast.<\/p>\n

Airole<\/h3>\n

Going up from Ventimiglia, we arrive in Airole,<\/strong> a village surrounded by olive trees, characterized by concentric alleys that surround the central square. Just outside the town center, it is possible to visit the Santuario di Nostra Signora delle Grazie (Sanctuary of Our Lady of Graces).<\/p>\n

Olivetta San Michele<\/h3>\n

Olivetta San Michele is the westernmost town in the region, on the border with France. It is one of the stations on the Cuneo-Ventimiglia railway line, famous and loved for the unique views between bridges and tunnels. Known as “Ferrovia delle Meraviglie” (Railway of Wonders), it is considered one of the most evocative routes in Europe.<\/p>\n

Beyond the French border<\/h3>\n

For those who wish to organize a trip beyond the French border, the valley offers a wide choice of evocative medieval villages, in continuity with those encountered on Italian territory. From Sospel to Saorge<\/strong>, an enchanting mountain village of narrow alleys and purple roofs, where time seems to have stopped.<\/p>\n

Not to be missed is the frescoed chapel of Notre Dame des Fontaines in La Brigue<\/strong>, capital of the ancient Brigasque community, traditionally a land of shepherds and transhumance.<\/p>\n

To dive into the remote past of the area, in Tende<\/strong> it is possible to visit the Mus\u00e9e des Merveilles, which tells the story of the Valle delle Meraviglie (Valley of Wonders) and the history of its rock carvings.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column top_padding_desktop=”24″ constrain_group_100=”yes” bottom_padding_desktop=”24″ left_padding_desktop=”24″ constrain_group_101=”yes” right_padding_desktop=”24″ column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color=”rgba(230,230,230,0.9)” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ background_image=”398″ background_image_position=”center center” background_image_stacking=”front” background_image_loading=”default” column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”10px” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.8″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”advanced” gradient_type=”default”][nectar_gmap map_type=”leaflet” zoom=”12″ marker_style=”default” color=”accent-color” leaflet_map_greyscale=”1″ size=”200″ map_center_lat=”43.8783234695316″ map_center_lng=”7.534958001302717″ map_markers=”43.8783234695316|7.534958001302717|Val Roya”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]Fun Fact
