WHY NICE…

Nice, France, is a dream destination for HYROX-ers who crave adventure, culture and stunning coastal scenery. Nestled on the French Riviera, this vibrant city offers the perfect mix of outdoor activities, Mediterranean charm and a lively social scene.

One of the best ways to experience Nice is by hiking up Castle Hill (Colline du Château). The climb rewards you with breath-taking panoramic views of the city, the Promenade des Anglais and the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean. For those who prefer a more relaxed route, there’s also a free elevator to the top, but where’s the fun in that?

Nice is a paradise for water sports lovers. The Mediterranean coastline offers endless opportunities for paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkeling and even parasailing. The famous Plage des Ponchettes and other nearby beaches provide the perfect spot to dive into crystal-clear waters.

For cycling enthusiasts, a ride along the Promenade des Anglais is a must. This scenic seafront stretch is perfect for biking, rollerblading, or jogging while soaking in the Riviera’s iconic beauty. If you’re up for a challenge, rent a bike and head toward Villefranche-sur-Mer or even Monaco for a rewarding coastal ride.

Beyond the active lifestyle, Nice is home to a fantastic nightlife and foodie scene. Young travelers can enjoy open-air bars, beach clubs and lively nightspots in the Old Town (Vieux Nice). The city’s famous markets offer delicious street food, while local specialties like socca and Niçoise salad provide the perfect fuel for your adventures.

With its mix of adrenaline-fueled activities, stunning landscapes and dynamic social scene, Nice is the ultimate destination for HYROX-ers looking to stay active while embracing the best of the French Riviera.
