The Malpasset dam loop
At this site of sad memory, this loop allows you to see the remains and ruins of this structure, which was destroyed in a matter of minutes on 2 December 1959.
Former Malpasset dam and Lac de l'Avellan
A walk that starts with a return trip to the old Malpasset dam (a sad reminder of the past) and continues in a loop to the beautiful Lac de l'Avellan.
Please note: The area around Lac de l'Avelan is completely off-limits for safety reasons (work in progress that may take quite some time).
Walks near Barrage de Malpasset
Coastal path between Saint-Raphaël and Le Dramont
From Saint-Raphaël station, head to the seafront and follow the coastal path to Dramont. The red rock coastline dotted with small coves and beautiful sandy and pebble beaches with turquoise waters is a feast for the eyes.
Please note that this coastal path is not really a path. The route mainly follows the rocks with the help of steps.
From the Port of Santa Lucia to the Port of Agay, via the coastal path
Connecting the two ports of Saint-Raphaël via the eastern coastal path is said to be one of the most beautiful coastal routes on the French Riviera. While the charm of this walk is undeniable, it is important to note that it is challenging and not accessible to everyone. There is no real path, facilities are minimal, and the route often resembles a beautiful scramble among the rocks. But while it is possible to get your feet wet if you misjudge the time it takes to cross certain passages at the mercy of a playful wave, there is no risk of getting lost as the yellow markings are excellent. And what a joy it is to look out over the entire route and beyond from the top of Le Dramont.
Please note that part of the Dramont bypass is currently impassable due to a landslide. Use the nearby forest paths to reach the tip of Camp Long.
The Three Crosses of Roquebrune via the west side
Climb to the Trois Croix de Roquebrune from the Rocher de Palay car park via a beautiful ledge offering views over the whole town and the surrounding region.
