This is a hike that reaches a height of 648 metres, with lovely views. There may be mist. This hike features some lovely single tracks, but also a good stretch of tarmac road; however, it is a hike without any particular significant difficulty.

Departure from Puyloubier (Bouches-du-Rhône)
Route along the ridges of Montagne Sainte-Victoire from Puyloubier to the Anchois car park (leave a car there). A fairly long hike, with a few tricky sections (chains) and slippery patches depending on the season. Magnificent 360° views.

From the Refuge Cézanne to the Deux Aiguilles car park via the Trou

Departure from Saint-Antonin-sur-Bayon (Bouches-du-Rhône)
This trail is an alternative known to local hikers for reaching the Saint-Antonin car parks when they have just completed a circular in Sainte-Victoire: it avoids following the brown-marked route, passing through the Col de l'Oppidum (alt. 580 m), then descending a very steep and rugged path. There is a 40-metre less elevation gain, and when you are in a hurry to get to the car park or tired, taking this Trou trail is a good option, especially in bad weather.
