La Martre walks

A hike to the end of the world. The starting village is very sparsely populated, with about ten inhabitants, and the trail is very quiet except perhaps during mushroom season.

Set off to conquer the roof of the Var and enjoy the magnificent panoramic views from the summit.

A lovely hike alternating between tracks, rocky paths and magnificent woodland. Panoramic views of the valley, the Lachens, Canjuers and Les Maures.

A lovely walk from Bargème and its castle to the banks of the Artuby with its turquoise waters. You will enjoy splendid views of the surrounding area as far as Mont Coudon. Part of the walk is in the sun (take care in summer) and part is in the woods (very pleasant).

Easy walk around the Vallon de la Cluel, starting from the village of Bargème.

A route with a fairly steep climb, rewarding you, once at the summit, with a 360° view of the Southern Alps stretching all the way to the sea. Includes a visit to a chapel and the old village of Peyroules. Above 1,700 metres, there is no longer a clearly marked path; you’ll need to navigate using the GPX file, cairns and tracks on the ground.

A beautiful and pleasant hike, without any particular difficulty, dotted with historic sites and varied landscapes: rocky terrain, woodland and plains. You won’t be bored for a minute and, as a grand finale, a breathtaking 360° panorama from the highest point.

Starting from the charming village of Valderoure, this route with its varied landscapes will take you through a pine forest to the hamlet of Les Beaux. After crossing the Lane and Artuby rivers, you will pass through the hamlet of Malamaire before returning to Valderoure, still in the forest.

This short route in Comps-sur-Artuby offers a change of scenery, with an almost mountainous atmosphere in its short forest section. Magnificent views of the river gorges (the Artuby) and the impressive cliffs, at the top of which you can look for chamois. Vultures can often be seen gliding overhead.

This hike on the edge of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence offers a varied route through forests, rocky outcrops and even a riverbed. It is not particularly difficult, although some descents can be a little steep. It also gives you the opportunity to visit the pretty Saint-Pierre Chapel, tucked away in the woods.

Through Castellane and along shaded paths, visit the famous and renowned Notre Dame du Roc.

A magnificent hike overlooking the Verdon. Very little traffic.

A short hike with beautiful views of the lakes of Chaudanne and Castillon, La Barre Rousse and the Crête du Teillon.

Hike starting from the beautiful village of Trigance and leading to a viewpoint overlooking the Gorges du Verdon.The circular route follows marked GR® or PR® paths for almost its entire length.

A family hike to discover Mons, the Oratory of Saint-Pierre and the Riens megalith. The Riens dolmen is located in the centre of a tumulus and housed collective tombs. The commune of Mons has several dolmens from the late Neolithic period, which bear witness to an important social group more than 4,000 years ago. The capstones of the Riens dolmen are missing; it housed collective tombs. One of them probably lies on the ground on the north side, the other has disappeared. The entrance to the chamber is very unusual, with an ogive shape not found anywhere else. Two other dolmens without capstones can be seen on the path leading to Escragnoles: the Colle dolmen and the Brainée dolmen.

An easy walk that showcases the heritage of Mons (dolmen, old canal, wash house, chapel, etc.). This walk combines culture and family fun, with clear views of Cannes and Saint-Raphaël at the start of the route. At the end of the walk, you will find yourself almost in the heart of the village of Mons, classified as a "village of character". The Écho du Baou association offers guided and commented tours of this walk. It is a hiking route and a digital trail.

A beautiful hike that takes us to the Saint-Trophime Chapel and the summit for a view of the entire Verdon and the Pre-Alps.

Remains of medieval Saint-Auban, breathtaking views of the mountains and a sublime finale at the edge of the Clue de Saint-Auban. Please note that part of the route is by road.

The final stage of the hike in the Haut-Estéron region; this route mainly follows tracks through the woodland before reaching the ridge of Mount Charamel, which is well worth the detour in its own right: the view is sublime. You then descend gently back down to the village of Le Mas.

A short, easy climb to a peak in the Haut Var with a 360° view and the chance to see some megalithic ruins. A beautiful walk through the heath.

A superb hike in the Grasse hinterland. On the agenda: megaliths, magnificent views of the entire coast (on a clear day) and, to finish, a superb waterfall in an exceptional setting.

A very lovely walk leading to the Pic de Chamatte at an altitude of 1,879 metres. This walk may prove challenging due to the elevation gain for inexperienced walkers. However, there are no technical sections. Only the descent requires a sense of direction. The path, although marked on the map, is barely visible in places. From the summit, a magnificent 360° view awaits you, taking in the Mercantour, the Verdon massifs and Lac du Castillon.

This is an easy hike offering magnificent panoramic views from the lookout point over Audibergue, Estérel, Fréjus, Colle du Rouet, Maures, Coudon, and more.

The shepherds of Provence offer us wonders along this short hike: the drystone shelters and their exceptional architecture. The Seillan drystone shelters were built between the18th and19th centuries, a period when land clearing and cultivation developed. The hills were then all cultivated in terraces, restanques and banquettes where chickpeas, wheat, barley, vines, olive trees and fruit trees grew. These huts provided shelter for farmers and their tools. Shaped like igloos, they maintain the same temperature in summer and winter, providing good protection against the heat or the mistral wind. Why are there so many drystone shelters in Seillans (more than 80!) and so few in neighbouring villages? It remains a mystery!

The Barre du Pidanoux hike overlooks Lake Castillon and the village of Saint-Julien-du-Verdon. It offers exceptional panoramic views. Note: The entire hike is marked with yellow lines.

During this hike, you will discover the restored old Boudoura wash house and the ruins of the Moulin Brûlé mill, now disused. The forest is bordered to the north by the Siagnole, to the south by the Camiole, and to the west by the Chautard: so much water! To the north of the Tuilerie or Tuilière plateau and Lavagne lies the Tourrettes State Forest, criss-crossed by numerous underground and above-ground canals and aqueducts, dotted with manholes and water catchments: the Acates, the Jas Neuf, Fontanouille, and Font-Bouillen.

A hike between two hilltop villages! Set off to explore Montauroux and Callian by taking the GR® de Pays trail in the Chapelle Saint-Donat valley. The hike starts in the village of Callian.
