An easy family walk between sun and shade (between the south-facing and north-facing slopes, in fact), with lovely views of the sea on the south-facing slope and the coolness of the forest on the way back.

An easy, family-friendly route mostly along forest paths, ending with a magnificent viewpoint. Sunny all the way; the return route is cooler as it’s on the north-facing slope. In spring, it’s full of flowers. In summer, make sure you take plenty of water and set off early.

A lovely walk through woodland and meadows with magnificent views and, in early July, a carpet of flowers.

A superb hike with fantastic views over Serre-Ponçon and the Ubaye Valley.

A moderately difficult hike with a few narrow sections, scree slopes and rocky terrain. A largely shaded route featuring three fountains, the old Châtelard battery, the Pisse Canal with superb views of the Pisse Waterfall, the lake and the Ubaye Valley.

Easy walk around the Vallon de la Cluel, starting from the village of Bargème.

An easy, half-day walk, ending at the magnificent Refuge de la Pare.

A beautiful hike with no particular difficulties through the mountain pastures to reach the Col des Cloches. You can continue to the summit of one of the bells. Shorter version of a previously published hike: Les Cloches de Barbes and summit of Chine via Le Forest

A fairly easy but rather sunny walk with some lovely views of Saint-Aygulf, the coast and the Estérel. In summer, best done early in the morning. Some paths are steep, so make sure you wear good walking shoes.
