This challenging walk allows you to explore some of the features of these hills overlooking Châteauvallon—whose silhouette is ever-present when you live in the western Var—including the Croupatier and the Bau de Quatre Aures. This route shares a few sections with another walk that includes the Bau, but in the opposite direction, and extends partly along the northern slope towards Le Broussan.

On the other side lie La Ciotat, Sainte-Baume and the Pic de Bertagne. This long and challenging hike requires a good level of fitness. The reward is a bird’s-eye view of the entire region.
