Walking, hiking and running in Monaco

Hikes in the Alpes-Maritime region can generally be split into two categories: coastal and mountain. The coastal routes are all very accessible and mostly very easy, more like strolls than hikes, but still worth doing for the unbeatable views of the coastline and access to fabulous beaches along the way. The mountain trails take a little more effort. They are a great way to explore the terrain behind Monaco and the many medieval villages that are dotted around the countryside.
