Departure from Hyères (Var)
The Grande Traversée des Maures, or "Montem Maurum" as it was described in the Middle Ages, has never been attempted. This "diagonal route through the Maures" takes us through magnificent Provençal landscapes. A varied, wild vegetation and exceptional views punctuate this route. This adventure begins in Hyères (former Templar commandery) and ends in Collobrières (capital of the Maures) during the first stage.

Easy

This hike is inspired by the hike Le petit lac du Vallon et le Mont des Oiseaux in Carqueiranne, but stays on the Sabatière site, avoiding the descent via the Col du Serre.We did it with Year 3 and Year 4 pupils. It is therefore completely accessible to all walkers, even beginners.
Les Deuxièmes Borrels, variant H
8.16 mi
+1,001 ft
-991 ft
4h 35
Moderate
Departure from Hyères (Var)
This route is a variation of the excellent Les Deuxièmes Borels route, which is also featured on the website.
It is still, and I quote, a "lovely circular path with no particular difficulty, among the oak and arbutus trees in the Massif des Maures, with beautiful views of the sea and the islands".
This H variant extends the beautiful part on the track, at altitude and with views, and shortens the descent into the forest.
See the practical information for details of this variant.
