Nice route, not many viewpoints, climbs along wide paths but descents along narrow lanes which aren't very pleasant
Beautiful descent to Bormes after the Constance Chapel

The route was followed on 12/2/2025, after a few days of bad weather, so the terrain was greasy.
I rarely look at the Pdf files for hikes, too much text...
I used the GPX track provided to lead my group.
It went off without a hitch, there were no ambiguities at junctions and the track was easy to read for this hike, which is very popular with clubs.
The scenery is just right. Beautiful climbs with plenty of effort, a little cultural stop at the chapel of N D de Constance, a contemplative stop at the Pierre de l'Avenon, all the ingredients for a great hike were there!
Many thanks to the Visorando team!

A very attractive and varied route (superb views over the Mediterranean and a rich forest environment). A good climb at the start and a similar descent at the end.
Note that the deviation at the Col de Gratteloup (marker 5) is essential for safety reasons, but means that most of sections 5 to 7 have to be cut out of the route.

Hello,
For your information, the GR 90 has been modified at the Col du Gratteloup. It runs slightly SW, parallel to the D41, and intersects the D41 at junction 219 to revert to its original route. This modification makes it possible to avoid the road, which is very busy, for the safety of hikers.

The descent to the Col de Grateloup is a tricky one when the rain has fallen shortly beforehand.
The same goes for the descent between the chapel and the chateau, where the uneven stones on the path can be tricky in wet weather. Otherwise a fine hike, already done several times in different seasons.

Very nice, varied route, magnificent cork oak woods, superb viewpoints.....bravo!
Just a note about the car park: P2 is free!
At one point, before point 6, a sign on the GR suggests a diversion to avoid dogs running at large ..... We took it even though we don't have a dog, just to be on the safe side!
Thank you for a lovely walk.

This was a very nice route with beautiful views of the Fort de Brégançon and the sea. There were a few small inclines, but the reward was a 360° view at the finish.
Many thanks to the initiator of this route, without whom we wouldn't have dared to do it.
To be recommended

A pretty route, full of flowers at this time of year, with beautiful views of the islands, Le Lavandou and the Toulon mountains. Lots of climbs and descents, which qualifies this hike as sporting indeed. We followed Manu78's advice and climbed to the Pierre d'Avenon: fun boulder climbing, and splendid views at the top. The Entre la Colle valley is very pretty and green, lush even.

Sporty circuit, 15 km and 1400 m ascent (+ and - cumulative).
The splendid site of Bormes-les-Mimosas, at the start and end of the walk, is not indicative of the entire route.

There were 5 of us on this magnificent hike, on this Spring day, but for my part I think it's quite a difficult hike.

No worries, not many people at the time. The only downside was the short passage on the road.
Highly recommended.

This is a magnificent trail where you can smell the delicious fragrance of the mimosa trees in bloom at this time of year without the heat being too much.
The ground is dry.
The successive panoramas are superb; this hike can be repeated without tiring of it.
A visit to the village at the finish adds to the beauty of this hike by highlighting the architecture of this beautiful village in the Var region. The circuit of the three passes is signposted in the other direction.
Highly recommended.
