Perched on a rocky peak 1,164m above sea level, Venanson is a genuine belvedere overlooking the Vésubie Valley and a charming village with picturesque little streets and a fabulous panorama from the top of its cliff!
With its grandiose natural environment, the village is ideal for hiking to observe chamois, ibex, golden eagle, etc.
Sights: Saint-Michel church (17th c.); Sainte Claire chapel (15th c) with Renaissance frescoes of the painter Giovanni Baleison, Pic de Colmiane.
