The H\u00f4tel West End invites its guests to explore the treasures of the Nice hinterland aboard a legendary railway journey. A truly panoramic experience, the Train des Merveilles from Nice connects the Mediterranean coastline with the peaks of Mercantour National Park.<\/p>\n

It is the perfect way to enrich a stay on the French Riviera while discovering unspoilt landscapes just an hour from the Baie des Anges.<\/p>\n

A wonderful journey between Nice and Tende<\/h3>\n

Over a hundred kilometres, the railway line connects Nice-Ville with the village of Tende, rising from sea level to an altitude of 1,000 metres. The route passes through seven picturesque villages: L\u2019Escar\u00e8ne, Sospel, Breil-sur-Roya, Saorge, Fontan, La Brigue and Tende. Along the way, discover unique architectural heritage, local craftsmanship and hiking trails offering exceptional views.<\/p>\n

In September, trains run daily. In October, services operate weekly on weekends and public holidays, until 1 November.<\/p>\n

The history and secrets of the Train des Merveilles<\/h3>\n

Inaugurated in 1928 after construction began in 1883, this railway line is considered one of the most remarkable in Europe. The journey crosses around one hundred bridges and viaducts and passes through remarkable spiral tunnels.<\/p>\n

The train takes its name from the famous Vall\u00e9e des Merveilles, linked to the Italian expression *valle delle Meraviglie*. This name refers to the mysteries and enchantments that once surrounded these legendary lands.<\/p>\n
