Collobrières walks

A very pleasant loop trail allowing you to visit the menhirs of the Plateau de Lambert, dating from between 5,000 and 7,000 years ago. There is a majestic chestnut tree stump near the forest house. This almost thousand-year-old chestnut tree stump is attributed to Madame de Sévigné, who came to the Plateau Lambert farm to relax and recharge her batteries at the foot of the chestnut trees. It burned down in the 1980s.

A short loop with superb views, to be done before or after visiting the charterhouse.

A walk through the crests of the Maures forest. A breathtaking landscape taking in the Mediterranean and the Alps.

A beautiful hike in the Maures mountains, with the ascent of Notre-Dame des Anges. The 360° panorama includes views of the Hyères islands, the Collobrières valley, the Maures plain and Sainte-Baume.

This loop hike in the Maures mountains includes a visit to the Gauttobry dolmen, a listed monument. Superb view of the Hyères salt marshes.

Circuit overlooking the Var coast above Bormes-les-Mimosas.

This hike leads around Bormes-les-Mimosas, and the flowering mimosas in particular.

The beautiful view of the harbour from the village is very charming, but what can be said about the view from the top of Notre-Dame de Constance, 160 metres higher up?

A hike looping around the Maures hills in the middle of cork oak forests. Lush vegetation with beautiful views of East Toulon. You take a portion of the GR51 called "The Balcony of the Mediterranean".

An easy hike starting from Super Lavandou and following the Chemin du Bargidon. Exceptional views throughout the hike over the bay of Bormes and Le Lavandou, the Hyères islands and even as far as Toulon. When you reach the Route des Crêtes, the view becomes sublime!

A visit to the Gaoutabry dolmen is a classic outing in the London hinterland. A previously published hike accessed it from the Tamary valley. We went there in February 2016 and March 2018, starting from the village of Notre-Dame des Maures, which still bore the scars of the terrible Pansard flood of January 2014.

A somewhat challenging hike from Le Lavandou to La Plage de la Fossette via the coastal path. Walk along a rocky trail with several views of the coastline.

Park in the car park next to the town hall annex and the post office. A superb view and a good little climb, a bit too much tarmac for me. Very well signposted, it's a superb loop.

Superb out-and-back coastal hike on the sentier du littoral between La Londe-les-Maures and Brégançon. Many beaches along the way.

An easy hike with little elevation gain. A wide variety of landscapes in a wetland area: wooded areas, vineyards, open spaces, rock formations, varied vegetation (beautiful dwarf irises in April). Numerous fords and streams, pleasant in spring. moderator's note: site closed since 10/09/2021 until further notice

A pretty loop with no particular difficulties, on tracks, among oak and arbutus trees in the Maures mountains.

An easy walk in the Massif des Maures. Beautiful trails, rivers, streams, lakes and unique terrain. Not to mention the cork oaks, characteristic of the massif, and a varied flora (dwarf irises, anemones, orchids, etc.). Moderator's addition on 22/11/2021 Hike currently impossible due to a fire and the need to preserve nature. See comments at the bottom of this page. Addition at the end of 2023: see the Practical Information section.

This route follows the coastal path along the sea. You can see flamingos and various birds on the old salt marshes.

This is a short loop offering beautiful views of the Mediterranean coast on varied and sometimes challenging terrain. The trail starts among beautiful villas with sea views, then follows a balcony path above the coastline to a lovely beach, and returns via an old railway line. This walk is best suited to sure-footed walkers who are not afraid of tackling the climbs right from the start.
