Location

Isola 2000 sits high in the southern French Alps, in the Mercantour massif near the Italian border in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. The setting is high-alpine and largely above the tree line, yet close enough to the coast to feel the Mediterranean's influence.

Getting there

Moderate to reach

Fly into Nice (NCE), about 1.5 hours from the resort by road.
