A short, easy hike to discover the beautiful landscapes between the Gorges du Loup, the Plateau Saint-Barnabé and the Cheiron Massif. Le Pré Royer is a beautiful area of successive clearings above the Bramafan forest. During the rutting season, you can hear many deer at dusk or dawn.

Starting from the small village of Courmes, you will climb up to the Plateau Saint-Barnabé to ascend the Puy de Tourrettes, a mountain whose summit plateau offers views of the Mercantour and the coast. After a short descent, you will climb back up to the Pic de Courmettes, a pretty viewpoint with a 360° panorama of the Loup valley, the Cheiron massif and the Cap Ferrat coastline in the Estérel. After a steep descent along the western ridge, you will return to the village at a leisurely pace through the forest.

A short circular hike above the village of Courmes, ideal during the deer rut at dawn or dusk. Thrills guaranteed! A brief stop on the Saint-Barnabé plateau offers beautiful views of the Cheiron massif to the north and the village of Gourdon overlooking the Gorges du Loup to the south.

Starting from Bramafan, the trail climbs under the pine and beech trees on the cool, quiet north-facing slope. The mossy ground absorbs your footsteps, and the air smells of resin and damp earth. Between two pale rocks, the view opens up onto the Loup valley and the Cheiron ridges. Gradually, the forest thins out and olive trees herald Cipières, perched on its luminous spur, after a leisurely walk of about ten kilometres. The descent to the river is calm and the path sometimes enigmatic, but you'll get there. Return via the Canal de Foulon.

This short hike starting from the Domaine des Courmettes will take you to one of the main 360° viewpoints between the Mediterranean Sea and the Mercantour mountains.

The route is unshaded and easily accessible, even for paragliders flying overhead.

A very pleasant wooded hike offering beautiful views of the gorges and the Loup valley. The ancient paths used to connect the villages, the buried Canal du Loup on which we walk, its former railway line dating from before 1900, and its terraces bear witness to a commercial and agricultural past from another era.

Starting from Tourettes-sur-Loup, this hike offers breathtaking views. A 360° panorama stretching from the bay of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat to the bay of Antibes on one side, continuing on to the peaks of the Mercantour.

A circular route with superb views of the pretty village of Coursegoules and the Saint-Barnabé plateau. Photos taken in the snow, but the landscapes are just as beautiful without.

After exploring the old streets of Coursegoules and seeing its sights, this is a beautiful hike that surprises with the beauty of its trails and paths, passing through three different wooded areas of pine, oak and beech trees, sometimes winding through terraced fields offering lovely views of the Cime du Cheiron.

This short but challenging hike starts in Cipières, a village at the foot of the Calern plateau facing the Cheiron massif, and takes you to the banks of the Loup, a 49km coastal river (the second longest in the Alpes-Maritimes) through deciduous forests. Once you reach the banks of the Loup, you will walk along the buried Foulon aqueduct, which supplies water to Grasse and the surrounding area. Unfortunately, although the river is right by the path, it remains difficult to access.
