Unsure how to plan your route and what to take with you? Monaco Tribune met with a hiking enthusiast to get all the tips and tricks you need to spend a summer in the Riviera\u2019s mountains.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exploring the hills of Slovakia since the day he learnt to walk, Michal Bal\u00e1\u017eia loves everything about the outdoors. As soon as he moved to the C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur two years ago, getting up into the mountains was his main mission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI asked a couple of friends and within two weeks we had a hiking group\u201d. Since then, his Facebook group \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/2432177160374049\">Mountain Gang<\/a>\u201d have hiked along the French Riviera most weekends. A group open to everyone, from complete beginners to mountaineering pros, they have so far completed around 80 trails. Here is what Michal had to say about preparing for a hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/michal-and-the-mountain-gang-at-the-rifugio-emilio-questa.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/michal-and-the-mountain-gang-at-the-rifugio-emilio-questa.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/michal-and-the-mountain-gang-at-the-rifugio-emilio-questa-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/michal-and-the-mountain-gang-at-the-rifugio-emilio-questa-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/michal-and-the-mountain-gang-at-the-rifugio-emilio-questa-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/michal-and-the-mountain-gang-at-the-rifugio-emilio-questa-175x131.jpg 175w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>\u00a9<\/em> Mountain Gang<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-an-offline-map\">Use an offline map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As they can be tricky to read and outdate quickly, instead of taking a paper map, Michal recommends planning a trail online via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoportail.gouv.fr\/carte\">Carte Topographique IGN<\/a>, plotting it in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wandermap.net\/en\/#\/z15\/46,2\/terrain\">wandermap<\/a>, and then downloading the route\u2019s GPS into an offline smartphone app, such as MAPS.ME. As well as this, he urges people to pack multiple portable phone chargers to avoid being left with no battery and getting lost. \u201cI always carry two power banks,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-make-the-most-of-trains-and-buses\">Make the most of trains and buses <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For Michal, \u201chaving a car is a limitation and you may restrict yourself&#8221;. Often, to avoid returning to your starting point and repeating half of the trail, taking public transport is much better. From Nice, you can take multiple buses (90, 91, 720, 770, 790) and trains (Nice-Digne, Nice-Tende) designed to take you straight into the mountains, all year long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&gt;&gt; READ ALSO:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2020\/08\/water-hiking-a-refreshing-way-to-explore-the-french-riviera\/\">Water hiking: a refreshing way to explore the French Riviera<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fuel-up-and-look-after-yourself\">Fuel up and look after yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Snacks are important to keep energy up and according to Michal, \u201cnuts are best\u201d. Anything from \u201calmonds to cashews to walnuts\u201d. If you can find energy bars \u201ccontaining at least 60% nuts\u201d, they will also set you up well. Remember to pack at least two litres of water too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&gt;&gt; READ ALSO: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2021\/02\/how-spending-time-in-the-mountains-is-good-for-the-body-and-mind\/\">How spending time in the mountains is good for the body and mind<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-embrace-adventure-and-stay-overnight\">Embrace adventure and stay overnight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Who said hiking had to be a one-day affair? \u201cOvernight hikes are just the best\u2026 it\u2019s like another level of adventure.\u201d Whilst extended hikes are more exciting, there are a few things to bear in mind. \u201cBring a lamp, a sleeping bag and book the refuge [small huts offering a hot meal and a bed] in advance\u201d. Additionally, make sure to reach the overnight location by the check-in time: something Michal realised the hard way when staying in Refuge de Rabuons after a hike up Mont T\u00e9nibre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe were late and missed the 7pm deadline. By the law here, the keeper of the refuge has to make sure everyone is safe and because he hadn\u2019t heard from us (we were really slow and had no phone signal), he called the helicopters out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-plan-your-outfit\">Plan your outfit <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you go for a longer hike or an overnight adventure, a hip belt could be a good investment. \u201cIt takes about 70% of the backpack\u2019s weight off your shoulders.\u201d As for footwear, \u201cpeople tend to overdo it with really strong, military type shoes and end up with blisters and sore feet\u2026 comfortable trainers will be fine.\u201d Sun cream, sunglasses and a hat are also essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&gt;&gt; READ ALSO:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2020\/06\/discovering-the-7000km-of-hiking-in-alpes-maritimes\/\">Discovering the 7000km of hiking in Alpes-Maritimes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/wild-goats.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/wild-goats.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/wild-goats-452x300.jpg 452w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/wild-goats-226x150.jpg 226w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/wild-goats-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/wild-goats-175x116.jpg 175w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Wild goats \/ <em>\u00a9<\/em> Mountain Gang<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mercantour National Park: our expert\u2019s favourite hiking spot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in the foothills of the Alps, \u201cthe mountains are steep, so you gain elevation really quickly. If the weather is good, you can even see Corsica.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Split over two days with a night spent in a mountain refuge, hiking through La Vall\u00e9e des Merveilles here was a particularly memorable moment for Michal. Literally translating to the \u201cvalley of marvels\u201d this route is full of wonders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Refreshing swims in mountain lakes with wild goats accompanying you throughout the walk, there is plenty to admire whilst climbing your way to the 3,000m summits. \u201cIt\u2019s like an encyclopaedia of biodiversity.\u201d Marmots, vultures and even traces of wild boar are all visible on the route. Whilst the boars are hard to spot, Michal describes how they \u201cuse their nose to dig up little seeds and plant roots. If a path is completely destroyed, it\u2019s often because there were some hungry boars there!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combining history with hiking, this valley is \u201clike an open-air museum.\u201d At one point, \u201cyou can see cave carvings from the copper and early bronze age on the rocks.\u201d This was &#8220;the cherry on top of all the hikes we\u2019ve had.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"953\" height=\"618\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/rock-carvings.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/rock-carvings.jpg 953w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/rock-carvings-463x300.jpg 463w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/rock-carvings-231x150.jpg 231w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/rock-carvings-768x498.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/rock-carvings-175x113.jpg 175w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 953px) 100vw, 953px\" \/><figcaption><em>\u00a9<\/em> Mountain Gang<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what are you waiting for?
