⚑Departure from Toulon (Var)

One of the Var's most beautiful walks.
This hike climbs Mont Faron on wide tracks and offers a breathtaking view over the most beautiful bay in Europe.

Walking Baou des 4 Auros

Association or club
↔11.26 km ↗+529 m ↘-535 m ◔4h 45 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Ollioules (Var)

A hike in the outskirts of Toulon where you get a 360° view of the amazing countryside. A big meeting place for spies who monitor Toulon harbour.

Walking Climbing up and around Mont Caume (804m)

Walker
↔11.23 km ↗+684 m ↘-680 m ◔5h 10 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Évenos (Var)

Perched at an altitude of 800 metres, Mont Caume is one of the four Toulonais brothers which surround Toulon. It is certainly the highest; its summit is very dry as it's very exposed to winds and fluctuations in weather.
All these factors make ascending Mont Caume essential and well worth it.
The hike suggested here enables you to go all the way round the mountain and combines the pleasures of a very active route with the joys of a pretty much complete visit to both its summit and its slopes.

Walking Croupatier Cave via Le Broussan

Walker
↔7.50 km ↗+231 m ↘-236 m ◔2h 50 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Évenos (Var)

Leaving from Garde Pass, a beautiful hike through the Croupatier massif.

Walking Baou de Quatre Ouro (576 m) and Croupatier via the caves path

Walker
↔14.22 km ↗+917 m ↘-917 m ◔6h 40 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Ollioules (Var)

This active route will take you through the Croupatier to the Baou de Quatre Ouro, one of the four "Toulonais brothers". Paths and ledges where you have to use your hands, passages with ropes, discover the main caves of the massif, where the famous caves of the Château du Diable make the route more interesting.

Walking The Dardennes - The Turcos - the Pyramide de Cassini

Walker
↔13.32 km ↗+720 m ↘-725 m ◔5h 50 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Le Revest-les-Eaux (Var)

I went on two walks I found on Visorando: "Le Revest - Tourris Castle" and "Tourris and the Pyramide de Cassini" before finding this itinerary that I'm recommending. The beginning of the first until the departmental road then part of the initial section of the second. Unlike the "Pyramide de Cassini", we discovered a route that's not marked on the maps but which joins the "Chemin des Turcos" in a forested area. A walk with uneven terrain that can be difficult at times.

Walking Le Revest - Tourris castle for experienced hikers

Walker
↔10.96 km ↗+441 m ↘-435 m ◔4h 25 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Le Revest-les-Eaux (Var)

Not a very long hike with less than 11 km but very hilly with a rocky, steep incline.

Walker
Château du Diable and the Destel Gorges in Ollioules
↔4.98 km ↗+341 m ↘-334 m ◔2.5 hrs ▲Very difficult
⚑Departure from Ollioules (Var)

This very challenging route takes the hiker to the site of the Château du Diable and its remarkable caves and the Destel gorges, with their astonishing giant's kettles or cauldrons.
Nice sections with chains or ropes.
