La Cabane des Pins Sylvestres offers an intimate eco-friendly retreat less than an hour from Nice, perched at 1400 Route du Boréon in Saint Martin de Vésubie. Nestled at the edge of Mercantour National Park, this small family-run domain provides an ideal base for travelers who seek both comfort and immersion in wild alpine landscapes. Created in 2013 by passionate hosts committed to ecological practices, the cabins are built with natural materials such as sheep wool insulation and sustainably sourced wood. The design balances rustic charm with modern comfort: each cabin features private bathrooms, fully equipped kitchens, supplied bed linen and towels, and reliable heating for winter stays.
Guests can choose cabins with a private spa on the terrace or a Balneotherapy bathtub for a restorative soak after outdoor adventures. Optional services include breakfast for two, a dinner service for two delivered to the cabin, and a romantic package for special occasions. The terraces are 'high-perched', offering panoramic views of the surrounding pine and beech forest—perfect for an aperitif, star gazing, or quiet reading.
Outdoor activity options are abundant. Hikers and mountain bikers will find access to trails leading into Mercantour’s biodiversity-rich valleys. Adventure seekers can enjoy climbing, canyoning, via ferrata, paragliding, and summer tobogganing. In winter, nearby resorts such as La Colmiane provide alpine skiing, while Boréon offers cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice climbing opportunities. For families and daytime visitors, an accrobranche park and other local attractions are just minutes away by car.
Practical information: pets are not accepted. Same-day reservations close at 11:00. Check-in is between 15:00 and 19:00; check-out before 11:00. Whether you are planning a romantic getaway, an outdoor sports trip, or a quiet nature escape, La Cabane des Pins Sylvestres promises sustainable comfort in one of France’s most unspoiled mountainous regions.
