Tinée valley ski resorts (Isola 2000, Auron, Valberg…) have lots of snow at only one hour and an half drive from Vence.
You will follow the valley at the bottom; even people with vertigo can go. On each side you will have impressive white waters or high cliffs.
Have a stop in Saint Sauveur and St Etienne de Tinée.
Then if you are not afraid of mountain roads you can visit Auron, the prettiest ski resort.
