Beautiful loop in the Calanques starting from Callelongue.

A very beautiful hike in the Calanques massif to discover the wild Podestat cove. Then the very touristy Sormiou cove before ending at the picturesque Morgiou cove. A difficult hike with some exposed sections and even a few secured climbing sections.

Please note: on 30 September 2025, I was informed that the trail leading to the Pas supérieur de la Melette is now closed, and I do not know for how long. Short but physically demanding, this hike through the Marseilleveyre massif takes us to the Plateau de l'Homme Mort, then to the Col de Cortiou, before climbing the impressive Cirque des Walkyries. There are no exposed sections, but there is a small vertical passage equipped with a rope (Pas supérieur de la Melette) at the end of the climb up the Cirque des Walkyries, where you will need to use your hands to help you. Not recommended for those who are afraid of heights.The magnificent sea view accompanies us for much of the walk. You are in the Calanques National Park, which is subject to specific regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in a fine of up to €1,500.
