Departure from Gréolières (Alpes-Maritimes)
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.

Very difficult
Departure from Saint-Jeannet (Alpes-Maritimes) (Alpes-Maritimes)
A magnificent walk offering numerous views of the sea, the Var valley, and the coast with its various towns, headlands and islands (with a bit of luck, you might spot Corsica, Sainte-Victoire and the Mercantour peaks). However, this walk is challenging due to its length and elevation gain, and is therefore only suitable for fit walkers.

The steep path on the western flank of Mont Arpasse

Difficult
Departure from Alpes-Maritimes
This unique one-way hike (allow for two vehicles) takes you up Mont Arpasse via the little-used south-eastern route. The final stretch is a path nearly 3 km long, sometimes carved into the cliff face, steep and vertiginous, clinging to the mountainous western flank of Mont Arpasse. It was built by the constructors of the Vésubie Canal in the 1870s and offers views of the Var throughout.
The section between marker 296 and the finish is reserved for experienced walkers.
