Hiking
- Maps:
- IGN (1/25,000) #3640 ET "Haute Tinée 2, Isola 2000"
Hiking from Isola village is excellent. The mountains to the west, south and east are all forested, and full of well-marked hiking trails. A disadvantage is that, with Isola being beside the Tinée river, all hikes begin with long uphill climbs. The counter-advantage, though, is the return trip is downhill.
There are good hiking trails between Isola village and Isola 2000.
From Isola 2000 (2020 m) north and east, hiking trails go over the ridges (2400-2800 m) into Italy, and there's a region of lakes to the northeast.
Southeast from Isola 2000, a trail goes over the Col Mercière (2342 m) and into the Mercantour National Park. This trail passes near the Lad de Tavels and continues southeast to the popular Col de Salese, with trails there to Lac Negre or the Le Boreon area north of St Martin Vésubie.
