Departure from Gémenos (Bouches-du-Rhône)

Departure from Gémenos (Bouches-du-Rhône)
A fairly challenging route which has the advantage of being situated on the western slope of the Sainte Baume massif and is therefore sheltered from the sun in summer if you set off early. The Col de Brest offers a beautiful panoramic view of the massif and the Marseille coastline.

Very difficult
Departure from Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône)
The Cirque des Pételins is a sight of unparalleled beauty. It is a very little-used trail in the Calanques National Park of Marseille. A superb but demanding hike requiring sure-footedness, good physical fitness and the ability to use a GPS effectively in certain places where the path is harder to find. This hike is not circular; it requires a shuttle service between the Logisson car park and the Col de la Gineste car park.
Please note: you are hiking in a national park; please respect the rules and avoid straying from the paths. Before setting off, please familiarise yourself with the regulations of the Calanques National Park: Calanques National Park Regulations
