Rimplas is a mountain village in the Alpes-Maritimes, in the Tinée Valley, on the edge of Mercantour National Park. Its houses climb the slopes amid an Alpine landscape of mountains and forests. Hostellerie de Rimplas suits travellers looking for hiking, mountain roads and villages in the hinterland rather than the bustle of the coast.

In the village, Église Saint-Honorat and Chapelle Saint-Roch are local landmarks, while Ouvrage de Rimplas bears witness to the history of Alpine fortifications. Col Saint-Martin opens onto mountain routes and panoramic views. The trails of Mercantour National Park cross high-mountain landscapes. La Colmiane ski resort, 8 km away, offers mountain activities and ski runs in season. A car makes it easier to explore the valley and visit other ski resorts in the Alpes-Maritimes.

Hiking and cycling are especially pleasant from spring to autumn, when the trails are clear; given the altitude, it’s worth bringing suitable clothing, even in summer. In winter, nearby resorts attract skiers, with conditions varying according to snowfall. You could start the day with a walk around Rimplas, then continue to the villages of the Tinée Valley or the trails of Mercantour. Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is 44 km from Rimplas.
