Ganière (rivière) walks
Cheiron Mountain
Superb hike along a long ridge with endless views across the entire department.
The hike is quite long but can be extended for the more athletic by passing through Coursegoules or even Bézaudin.
The luckiest hikers will catch a glimpse of Corsica in good weather.
It is common to see chamois and marmots.
The return via Vespluis and Les Miroirs (no difficulty) allows you to admire the entire ridge and the south-facing slope of this mountain in pastoral tranquillity.
Circular Saint-Pons route towards Coursegoules MR
Circular walk starting from the new car park in Saint-Pons (commune of Gréolières) towards Coursegoules, passing under the Cheiron. A very varied route passing by the 6th-century Saint-Michel Chapel. Return via the Chemin de l'Autreville and the Vespluis and Taillet valleys, with a small ford that is easy to cross. Ideal for a full day out with a nice stop in Coursegoules: restaurant or picnic, bakery and water point.
Route du Bois de Garavagne
Starting from Tourounet, this mostly shaded route will take you to the Saint-Barnabé plateau, then to the outskirts of the village of Coursegoules, before descending via an ancient Roman road lined with pine and oak trees back to Tourounet.
