To reach one of the 6 Mercantour valleys leaving from Nice:
- Roya Bévéra: highway direction Mentone/Genova, exit Ventimiglia; take N204 direction Col di Tenda, Cuneo. Recommended access from Nice - since it is more characteristic - across the tortuous Colli di Braus and Brouis, Sospel and Breil / Roya D2204 and D2566.
- Vésubie: N202, then D2565
- Tinée: N202, then D2205
- Haut Var Cians: N202, then D2202 N202, then D28
- Haut Verdon: N202, then D908
- Ubaye: N202, then D2205 and D64 (Colle della Bonette). Colle della Bonette, at 2,800m, is open only from June to September (approximately); therefore, to reach Barcelonnette it is often necessary to cross Digne-Les-Bains and Blanche Valley.
