After a sinuous and escarpée road (D30), which climbs in a red schist throat, Roubion will appear to you, seen of in bottom, like a proud eyrie fixed on the cliff, which seems to supervise the valley top of its ramparts..
In this wild and quiet site, Roubion (its name comes from "Robione", cliff into of Provence) offers a panoramic sight and a vivifying air, as well as a past more the twice thousand-year-old one!
Founded 800 years before Jesus-Christ (!) by the Celto-Ligurians, Roubion is a medieval village today where you will have pleasure to stroll, surprised to discover escarpées lanes and many old men arched passages, all small clear water fountains but also superb "a fountain of the sheep" dating from the 17th century, ancient barns in beautiful stone with the walls biscornus, tiny vault of mountain with its bronze bell…
The charm of these sloping lanes paved of beautiful brilliant green stone slabs is indescribable.
To finish, it is necessary to go up to the old ramparts (12th century), of which there remain two round towers on which one installed two benches. A point of view to cut the breath on the village and the mountains which surrounds it will reward you for your efforts!
Located at the doors of the National park of Mercantour and on the Road of the Large Alps, Roubion has also a small alpine ski resort (30km of tracks). The skiable field is superb and has nothing to do with certain station-concrete
you will not suffer either from interminable waitings to the ski lifts Roubion is a family station which likes the natural ski and without brags!
