Seeing the Estérel differently is the aim of this hike. This is the Estérel from the inside, the one with the ravines.

This hike takes you to two hidden lakes in the Esterel Massif. It involves no real difficulties or significant elevation gain. The chosen paths avoid the main trails used by mountain bikers wherever possible.
The route is designed for a walk of up to 4 hours (excluding breaks). If you wish to extend the walk, it is easy to find other routes, such as returning via the Col de Suvières and the Baisse de la Grosse Vache.

Departure from Saint-Raphaël (Var) (Var)
A route taking in small lakes and pleasant streams with a few interesting vantage points. At times, the path winds through the depths of wild ravines dominated by huge, jagged rocks.
Be careful, however: the ford at the bottom of the Perthus ravine can be difficult or even impossible to cross when there is too much water in the stream bed.

You descend to Col du Mistral and reach the Sigallon bridge, passing beneath the Pic du Perthus Occidental and the Barre de Roussivau. Finally, we follow the Vallon de la Cabre. The vegetation is abundant: cork oaks, downy oaks and a few eucalyptus trees. Lavender, rosemary and heather offer a whirlwind of pleasant scents.
