The hiking trails of the Menton hinterland in the Alpes-Maritimes department can be traveled with the family. They are suitable for children from 6-8 years old, an age at which they are mature and vigorous enough to begin to manage their effort. The trails offer varied grounds of learning, exploration, and discovery for children who can develop new skills (use of binoculars, compasses, map reading, orientation, photography) and get familiar with the natural and cultural heritage of the region. Walking at the head of the family or group puts children in a position of success, empowers them, and allows them to enjoy the landscapes better.
