Claviers walks

Ascent to the Sainte-Anne Chapel, located 624 m above sea level on the western summit of the Plateau du Puy, passing by the ruins of a Ligurian oppidum. Easy hike in the Provence scrubland and forest (thyme, lavender, rock rose...)

A walk around a little-known village with hidden gems, close to home! Montferrat is located 14 km north of Draguignan. The hike starts at Place des Allées, west of the village in front of the pretty village school. The esplanade, a former transhumance site, is adorned with centuries-old plane trees and bordered by the Nartuby River. We are in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Most of the route is through woodland.

A pleasant walk letting you discover the National Forest of the Colle du Rouët, the Trou de Gournié, also called Cascade de l'Endre and the river Endre.

A stroll in an exceptional place, discovering the gorges of the river Blavet and the cave of Mueron which was inhabited in the Bronze Age. Ideal in summer and on warmer days, avoid periods of heavy rain.

This short hike takes you to an old millstone quarry and a prehistoric settlement with remarkable views.

Set off to conquer the roof of the Var and enjoy the magnificent panoramic views from the summit.

A beautiful walk along the Siagne, through the woods, with some lovely surprises in store: the Tuve bridge and its waterfall, a beautiful little beach, numerous ruins that bear witness to a major agricultural activity in the past, and a forest of centuries-old oaks that is nothing short of fairytale forest. In short, it's the perfect tour for nature lovers and those who enjoy a refreshing swim.

A short but energetic walk that is exposed towards the end. Enjoy the stunning views from the top of Rocher de Roquebrune with its famous ochre colours.

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.

Starting from the charming village of Saint-Cézaire-sur-Siagne, you will explore the Siagne Gorges. On the programme: - descent to the Saint-Saturnin Chapel, - walk along the Siagne canal, - crossing the splendid Pont des Gabres (or Pont des Tuves, depending on which bank you are on), - climb back up this wild river with its crystal-clear waters and return to the village for a lovely view of this beautiful valley.

This circular hike starting from the Col du Testanier will first take you to the edge of Lac de l'Avellan before an easy climb to the Col du Logis de Paris. Next, a challenging climb along little-used paths will take you to a ridge at the foot of Mont Vinaigre. The climb to the summit, the highest point in the Estérel, will reward your efforts with a magnificent 360° panorama from Mercantour to Saint-Tropez and from Vintimille to Sainte-Victoire!

This is an easy hike in winter when the weather is good, with superb panoramic views from Mont Aigre over Fréjus Bay, the Estérel, the sea and the snow-capped Mercantour.

This is a short circuit which, at its highest point, offers a panoramic view from Cannes to Fréjus with a view of the sea.

A superb hike in the Grasse hinterland. On the agenda: megaliths, magnificent views of the entire coast (on a clear day) and, to finish, a superb waterfall in an exceptional setting.

A beautiful and enjoyable hike, without any particular difficulty, dotted with historical sites and varied landscapes: rocky, wooded, plains. You won't be bored for a minute and, as a highlight, there is a breathtaking 360° panorama from the highest point.

This is a short tour that can be completed in an hour and allows you to recharge your batteries in nature. Starting from the Vidauban athletics stadium, after a few kilometres on a tarmac road, you will experience your first change of scenery with a ford that can be more or less difficult to cross depending on the season. Then you follow the golf course fence, first on a tarmac road and then, after a few hundred metres, on a very rough track, but the golf course offers magnificent views. Leaving the golf course, you enter the woods on small tracks, then cross another ford before reaching the Route du Plan de la Tour, after crossing another ford and the bridge over the Aille. The route ends by taking another grassy, shaded path.

This route can be challenging at times, especially after rain, but the landscapes it passes through are truly breathtaking. Starting in the Plaine des Maures, you cross a forest of umbrella pines, Douglas firs, holm oaks and cork oaks. The terrain varies greatly, from sand and pebbles to stones and tarmac, allowing you to catch your breath as you go. The highlights are the Route des Crêtes Marc Robert, which reveals Lac des Escarcets, a silvery lake in the middle of the green plain, and the descent of the Cinq Sedes, winding down to the village of Les Mayons with its many viewpoints. An unforgettable route!

The Imbut trail is a hike that lets you discover the Verdon in the heart the gorge and the river bed. Extraordinary landscapes await you but this hike is difficult and certain sections on the cliffs (Chemin Vidal) and through rocks (section until the Baou Beni), require a good level of physical fitness. Be careful of vertigo! The altitude calculated by the software is a little high, it's closer to about 800m. The SENTIER DE L'IMBUT has been closed since July 2022 by municipal decree. It is still closed as of today 10/26/23 until further notice (risk of landslides/landslides). If you wish to do so in a few months, inquire in advance with the Aiguines town hall on 04 94 70 21 93

A very picturesque route which, when the weather conditions are right, allows you to observe the Pic de l'Ours on the Estelle on one side and Notre-Dames des Anges on the Maures on the other, from the vicinity of the summit of Castel Diaou. You'll pass through a multitude of different landscapes in the woods, valleys and ridges. You follow the Argens and the Aille, and cross them after, or even before, overlooking them.

A beautiful hike between plains and low mountains, offering sumptuous landscapes. Start at the Aille and, after a few kilometres, tackle the first 3 km climb. Descend for 2 kilometres before tackling the hardest part: a climb of about 6 kilometres that starts on a track that is half sand, half earth, before turning into a stony track.

A beautiful, easy hike in the Maures plain. It crosses the plains, passes over the Aille, crosses fords, goes through woods, and ventures onto a botanical trail with descriptions. The return journey follows the same route, with a few variations, and, as on the way there, care should be taken on the bends in the track north of Les Plaines, which hide the watercourses that can cause severe erosion.

A beautiful walk up the Verdon by its bed ! A feast for the eyes from start to finish ! ⚠️The Sentier Martel is not very difficult for regular walkers, but you have to be careful. However, the trickiest part is the Imbert ladders (6 ladders, 252 steps), which are difficult for hikers prone to vertigo. The difference in altitude is overestimated.

Vieux Cannet des Maures is a village full of character, certainly worthwhile a visit. Entraygues, the cave chapel of Saint Michel and the natural arches of Argens.
