The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Mountain trailhead parking in the Lauzanier valley at the gateway to Mercantour National Park, around 2000 m elevation. Stunning alpine scenery with stream. Very narrow, winding access road; shuttle buses mandatory in summer season (every 30 min). Camping-cars formally prohibited by municipal order. Overnight stays possible off-season but enforcement risk. Guaranteed quiet but cold.
Highlights
- Beautiful natural setting with marmots
- Peaceful with guaranteed seclusion
- Close to the national park and hiking trailheads
Good to know
- Camping-cars officially banned by local order.
- Extremely narrow and winding road
- Risk of nighttime checks and fines for parking
Motorhome access : Strictly banned for campervans by municipal order. Road is very narrow and winding, maneuvering impossible in peak season (shuttles every 30 minutes). Only light vehicles allowed, mandatory waiting. High risk of fines.
