Entrevaux walks
Gueydan Bridge – Entrevaux via the summit of La Lette
A beautiful, challenging route that keeps you on the ridgelines. The C-shaped configuration of the Var means that throughout this ascent you can admire the river’s banks on both the north and south sides. At the end of the hike, wander through the narrow streets lined with old walls in this magnificent village.
The unmarked trails of the wooded ridges of the Haut-Estéron
Discover a beautiful forest near Castellet Saint-Cassien. Following the ridges along unmarked paths offers a delightful way to explore this stunning Haut-Estéron National Forest.
Tête de Pibossan at the start of the Croix-sur-Roudoule
A beautiful and original hike on a little-used route offering a lovely view of the Mercantour (some peaks can be seen from unusual angles) from the summit of Pibossan.
Spring is the ideal time to walk this route, with the broom in bloom.
The route follows what is probably an ancient Roman road (paved path) through the red earth rising from the Daluis Gorges.
Under Roche Castel at the start of Léouvé.
An unusual hike. After climbing a mountain Roman road, the trail winds through areas dominated by reddish ochre colours. The combination of colours between nature and the sky sometimes leaves us speechless.
Dôme de Barrot via Léouvé
From Léouvé to the Dôme de Barrot, in the red rocks between Daluis and Cians.
Summit of the Tête du Giordanet and its alternative route
A very beautiful hike where the Col de Roua proves to be a ‘vegetation boundary’: the dominant green of the wooded and alpine areas contrasts with the reddish hues, offering a spectacular display of colours.
Mairola route starting from Puget-Rostang
Exploring the Vallon and Montagne de Mairola shows that these vast spaces have been shaped by humans over the centuries: the south-facing cereal fields of Puget-Rostang, state forests reforested to combat erosion, the Dina plateau with its fields cleared of stones with patience, scattered farms now used only as shelters during the hunting season (Fournès, Villars, la Combe, Mairola)...
The Col de Rigaudon
A very pleasant hike criss-crossing the sunny and shady sides of this mountainous area, offering two contrasting types of vegetation and views of the Alps that will have you stopping regularly to take in the scenery.
The Point Sublime in the Daluis Gorges
A beautiful climb to the Point Sublime viewpoint for a magnificent view of the Daluis Gorges and their red pelites.
The Daluis Gorges
Starting from the Pont de Berthéon, this circular hike in the Gorges de Daluis allows you to discover the superb and characteristic landscape of the Upper Var Valley. After a gentle climb through red pelite, you will reach a sublime spot offering a sensational view over the gorges. You will then climb back up the gorges to complete a loop via the Colla and Saussette plateaus, which offer some beautiful views of the mountains in this valley.
Circular Gars and Briançonnet loop
Circular route from the village of Gars to Briançonnet. This hike takes you to the impressive Source de Gars, the birthplace of Célestin Freinet, pioneer of modern education. It is a varied route that passes through the village of Briançonnet and the ruins of its feudal castle, from where there is a beautiful view of the surrounding area. Both villages are well worth a visit for their rich heritage.
Daluis Gorges
A route at the bottom of the superb Daluis Gorges! A water hike to be undertaken only in good weather, ideal in summer during hot weather. A hike accessible to children who can swim. Closed shoes are essential.
This hike crosses a protected natural site that is subject to regulations. See practical information.
Aiglun, its cave fortress and its waterfall
An exceptional hike, combining history, nature and fitness. The troglodyte fortress is unique, the Vegay waterfall is rivalled only by its Icelandic twin sisters, and the rough section of the nature trail will test your sense of direction. The route concludes with a tour of Aiglun’s beautiful architectural heritage.
The listed Vegay Waterfall as seen from the village of Aiglun
A moderately strenuous but very pleasant walk. It is the largest recorded and listed natural waterfall in the Alpes-Maritimes, with its three successive drops. The waterfall is exceptional and, in terms of height, is matched only by its Icelandic twin sisters. The start and end of this route offer a chance to discover the beautiful architectural heritage of Aiglun. Thanks to its strategic location, the inn is a popular spot at the end of this round trip in the Estéron.
The troglodyte fortress of Aiglun
Located a stone’s throw from the village, on the edge of an impressive canyon, the troglodyte fortress known as the “Château d’Aiglun”, with its stone-masonry walls, nestled in its natural surroundings, bears witness to a mysterious past . This rural built heritage, a veritable bastion situated beneath the Giet cliff, is believed to be the largest of its kind in France, spanning nearly 80 metres. The construction of stone steps, the installation of metal steps, the safety works on the access routes, the installation of signage and attractive information points allow visitors to fully enjoy these magical, timeless places.
