Isola 2000 is a mountain resort in the Southern Alps, in the commune of Isola, near the Italian border and Mercantour National Park. Its high-altitude landscape, slopes and ski lifts mainly attract winter sports enthusiasts. In summer, the resort becomes a base for walks and hikes in the Alpine terrain. The atmosphere is that of a resort village organised around mountain activities, rather than an old town.

The Pelevos and Roubines ski lifts are nearby, and several other facilities serve the ski area. Isola 2000 is 550 m away; the slopes and hiking trailheads shape how visitors get around the resort. Notre-Dame-de-Vie Chapel offers a heritage stop in the surrounding area. For longer outings, Mercantour National Park has hiking routes and high-mountain scenery. The resort is reached by road from the valley; the Alpine terrain makes a car useful for exploring the surrounding villages and valleys.

In winter, pack clothing suited to the cold and high-altitude conditions, and plan your days around skiing and the lifts. The ski season generally runs from December into spring, depending on snowfall. In warmer weather, the trails let you explore the mountain pastures and take in the views beyond the ski area. You could start the day with a hike near the resort, then continue into Mercantour National Park. Mountain conditions can change quickly, so choose your route according to the weather and your experience.
