Departure from Saint-Vallier-de-Thiey (Alpes-Maritimes)
This is a classic hike to the summit of La Colle, which offers exceptional views of the Côte d'Azur and the Grasse Pre-Alps. The fairly steep climb between points (1) and (2) passes through a beautiful oak forest, then a pine forest, before crossing Castellaras de la Malle, a prehistoric camp surrounded by a well-preserved rampart.
