The village of Bairols was built at 832 m altitude, on a rocky ridge which allows you to progress along a steep slope throughout the ascent, overlooking the valley and offering a wide panorama of the surrounding mountains. Once you reach the highest point village, you will greatly enjoy wandering the freshly paved alleys, one of which encircles the village, discovering the old stone facades, vaulted and medieval covered passages with their vertiginous stairs.
From the start at the roundabout, take the RM 2205 towards Nice. At the exit of the place name, turn right onto RM 26 and the bridge that crosses the Tinée river towards Bairols. As soon as you leave the bridge, stay right on the RM 56. From this intersection begins the climb towards Bairols. Once you reach the village and after a well-deserved rest or a visit through the alleys, all that remains is to retrace your steps back to the starting point, being very careful on the descent, which is winding and little frequented by motorists.
