In the Middle Ages, the salt route passes through Levens, which developed around the watchtower and castle built on the rocky spur overlooking the site. Imagine it with, in the heart of its paved streets, the shops of its many craftsmen, well protected from invasions thanks to the ramparts.
Not to miss on the stage:
Remains of the ramparts and castle Gorges of the Vésubie Saint-Michel de Férion Chapel Place de la République Saint-Antonin de Levens The large meadow Lintels (In the Vésubie, as in the Roya, village houses are often adorned with stone lintels whose inscriptions testify to their medieval origins. This is the case in Levens.)
Follow the markings on the posts with the pink "Salt Route" logo.
Suitable walking shoes are strongly recommended
Bring water, a cap, provisions, waterproof and warm clothing
A flashlight or headlamp in case of passing through a tunnel or to avoid being caught by nightfall
A first aid kit
Before leaving:
Check the local weather before you leave
Inform a loved one of your hiking purpose and departure time
Make sure the length, elevation gain, and duration correspond to your level before starting and do not overestimate your abilities
During your hike:
Follow marked trails and respect the routing directions
Trails are shared: mountain bikers, riders, and hunters may also use the route
You may encounter flocks of sheep grazing. Guard dogs are there to protect them from attacks. The golden rule: stop and keep your distance from the flock. Take time to calmly go around it.
Be extra careful during hunting seasons and check for current battues
Behave eco-citizen: take your trash with you, be discreet to avoid scaring wild animals, and do not pick flowers or wild plants, a photo is a sufficient memory
Respect private properties, cultivated areas, and natural spaces and close gates after passing
In summer, days are hot, vegetation is very sensitive to fire risk, do not light fires as you endanger your safety and that of others
To alert rescue services, dial 112
