L'ASSA escalade d'Antibes est à la Turbie, secteur surplombs. Une bien belle sortie 😉 #assaescalade #escaladeturbie #escaladetetedechien

Ski de randonnée dans le #parcnationalmercantour . Tête sud des Bresses. Un peu plus de neige serait bienvenu mais c'était top 👍

Dernière sortie de l'année avec l'#assaescalade sur le site de la Turbie, secteur de la Loubiere 🤩🤩🤩. Bonnes fêtes de fin d'année à tous #escaladeloubiere #escalademonaco

Le temps est venu de ranger le matos de canyon et de remettre les chaussons d'escalade 😁. Reprise de l'escalade de grande voie aujourd'hui à Saint Jeannet avec une classique, la Super Malet. Bravo aux participants 👏 #escaladegrandesvoies #baousaintjeannet #saintjeannet

On a toujours de l'eau 💦👌, malgré tout ce qu'on lit ou entend les niveaux d'eau pour pratiquer le canyoning sont parfaits en cette période de canicule 😁. C'est même un excellent moyen de se rafraîchir... Aux médias, offices de tourisme, faites passer le mot et plus d'hésitations, les acteurs du tourisme des Alpes Maritimes sont là pour vous faire découvrir l'activité de canyoning en toute sécurité 👍 #ilyatoujoursdeleau #plananticanicule #canyoningnice #gorgesduloup #pontduloup
