This unusual walk will be an opportunity to discover night-time hiking in the heart of the Mercantour mountains, and to enjoy an exceptional night sky, labelled "International Dark Sky Reserve".
This unusual walk is an opportunity to discover the mountains by night, in a wild and preserved environment in the heart of the Mercantour massif.
Accompanied by a state-qualified guide, partner of the Mercantour National Park, you will discover the celestial vault with the naked eye in exceptional observation conditions: the site is labelled International Dark Sky Reserve, and more than 3000 stars are visible on moonless nights.
As an astronomy instructor, on the evening of our excursion I will describe the celestial objects and tell you some anecdotes about the great discoveries of this fascinating science: how did we know that the Earth is round, how do the stars work, what sky did our ancestors see, why is the night dark..
