The French Riviera<\/a> is renowned throughout the world for its warm\u00a0climate, blue skies, and versatile sceneries. \u00a0However, despite its mostly unwavering weather, there are\u00a0some occasional\u00a0<\/em>rainy days which do occur every once in a while. In the unlikely event that it does<\/em> happen\u00a0on your luxury yacht charter \u2014 do not despair! Instead, why not make the best of a bad situation by ditching the sea for land? Here’s where we recommend you go…<\/p>\n

We suggest you and your family to either rent a car or arrange a transfer to St-Martin-V\u00e9subie, an Alpine village ideal for hiking and family days spent in the mountains.\u00a0 <\/span>An hour drive from Nice airport, you won\u2019t regret exploring this beautiful area which the locals lovingly named the \u201cNi\u00e7oise Switzerland\u201d. The Ni\u00e7ois people have been staying in\u00a0this area for several centuries during the summer. Boasting spectacular hiking trails, panoramic views, and a gorgeous lake, Parc Alpha (in the heart of the National Parc of Mercantour) around\u00a0St-Martin-Vesubie is the ideal getaway during your charter holiday. Change it up and enjoy traditional Alpine cuisine in one of the mountain rustic restaurants, take in the natural scenery and explore the outdoors! Parc Alpha is also known for being the home to wolves in the South Of France, which are protected and shown \u00a0to families in an ethical and sustainable way. <\/span><\/p>\n
