Cuges-les-Pins walks

This is a fairly challenging hike that will take you through the Julie valley, which remains quite wild. On the way back, you will discover the Dousserand and Sainte-Madeleine valleys with beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. Long sleeves and trousers are required as the paths on the way there are poorly maintained, although well marked.

This pleasant walk above Cuges-les-Pins takes you along theGR®98, first on a lovely climb to Le Brigou, then towards Le Jas de Micéau: a beautifully restored sheepfold that marks the high point of our hike.

An easy hike to a local geological curiosity: the Fenêtre du Brigou.

A fairly classic hike that starts at Font Blanche and goes to the Chapelle Saint-André de Juhlans and then the Montounier, a hill that rises to 600 m. The route is particularly worthwhile for its beautiful views of Cuges-les-Pins and Sainte Baume, then the Bay of La Ciotat as you descend towards the Grand Caunet. The chapel has been very well restored, perhaps even a little too well. Don't miss the view behind it. There are some tough climbs along this route, which is not as easy as it looks.

A short walk between Le Camp and Ceyreste that will simply allow you to discover pretty woodlands and a beautiful panorama of the Cuges-les-Pins valley with the Pic de Bertagne on Sainte-Baume in the background.

We visit several locations where scenes from the films "Jean de Florette" and "Manon des Sources" were shot. We start from the car park located at the large hairpin bend on the climb to Riboux, 3 km above Ok Corral, the amusement park located 3 km from Cuges-Les-Pins.

This hike will take you above the beautiful Falaise de la Galère cliff with its breathtaking views to the fascinating Grande Baume cave, which you will cross from end to end. Don't be put off by the elevation gain, as it wasn't too difficult for our old legs.

This is a fairly difficult circuit that will take you via the Pic de Bertagne to two of the most interesting spots in the Sainte-Baume massif: the Trou du Vent and the Grande Baume.

A beautiful, very easy walk in the Saint-Pons valley, in the heart of a well-maintained departmental park, towards the former abbey of the same name. A very shady walk along a tributary of the Huveaune, where you can discover old mills from the 17th and 18th centuries. Great fun for children and largely accessible to people with reduced mobility.

Circular starting from the Saint-Pons valley towards the old ice house, via the Vallon du Fauge path and then the Chemin de la Glace. Beautiful views of the Pic de Bertagne, the Dents de Roque Forcade, the Saint-Pons valley and La Ciotat Bay in the distance. Take the opportunity to visit all the old water-related facilities in the valley: paper mill, mill, monuments, springs and waterfalls.

Climb to the highest point of the Bouches-du-Rhône, located at the eastern end of the Sainte-Baume Massif.

This hike starting from Grand Caunet will take you to a beautiful panorama facing the Pic de Bertagne and Sainte-Baume, from where you can look down on Cuges-les-Bains. From there, you will pass under the Barres de Font Blanche and climb back up into the Font Blanche forest via the Vallon de Carafa. On the way back, shortly before arriving, you will discover the Gouffre du Grand Caunet, a karst feature unique to the region.

An easy hike with views of the Sainte Baume mountain range. Please note that the path is very steep and unstable.

A long but straight-forward hike overlooking "Baie de la Ciotat" and a beautiful view over Sainte-Baume mountain range and Sainte-Victoire Mountain.

A lovely hike on the southern slope of Sainte-Baume, starting from the small village of Riboux. At its highest point on the ridges of Pic de Bertagne, you can enjoy a 360° view. La Ciotat, the Castelet route, Plan d'Aups...

This walk will surprise you with its views of all the main Provençal mountains. Perched on a rocky outcrop at the foot of a cliff, you will discover the ruins of an old village abandoned in the 17th century, as well as a pretty stone chapel. A walk in the clouds.

A beautiful hike that leads to the Pic de Bertagne, where you can enjoy a breathtaking 360° view.

This hike offers a change of scenery, starting from Les Bastides (a district of Roquefort-La Bédoule) to admire the Chapelle Saint-André chapel and its viewpoint, and above all the old Roquefort, which still has some interesting ruins to visit.

A beautiful walk to the Dents de Roque Forcade in the Massif de la Sainte-Baume, passing by the Tour de Cauvin, starting from Plan-d'Aups-Sainte-Baume.

Une petite randonnée d'été dans les sous-bois du Plan d'Aups, bien agréable en ces temps de canicule.

A beautiful route along the ridges of Sainte-Baume, from east to west via the Col du Saint-Pilon and the Pas de la Cabre.

A very beautiful hike starting from Riboux, with the ascent of Sainte-Baume on the south side to Saint-Pilon. You will follow theGR® trail along the ridge of Sainte-Baume to Pic de Bertagne. The panoramic views are breathtaking.

La Sainte-Baume as you've never seen it before: a ledge at the foot of imposing rocky peaks, a short climb to reach an isolated plateau offering panoramic views of the Alps as far as Cap Sicié. The entire walk is on small, wild trails, just the way I like them. A challenging walk with an 8-metre rock climb, rated 2 at most (easy scrambling).

A nice tour from Sainte-Anne passing by different juniper kilns producing lime and pitch.

On this hike, we will approach La Roche Redonne from an original angle and describe fossil structures and a Roman bridge along the way.
