Le Muy walks

A pleasant walk letting you discover the National Forest of the Colle du Rouët, the Trou de Gournié, also called Cascade de l'Endre and the river Endre.

A short but energetic walk that is exposed towards the end. Enjoy the stunning views from the top of Rocher de Roquebrune with its famous ochre colours.

A magnificent family walk around Lake Aréna, on the banks of the Argens and at the foot of the Rocher de Roquebrune. The flora is interesting: you will find Spanish broom, scorpion broom, cotton cistus, Provence cane, prickly pear, fennel, wood chervil, white bread, false cypress euphorbia, eleven o'clock flowers, radiated anacycles, sage-leaved rockrose, white campion, ravenelle, flax, meadow clover...

This circular is ideal for a lovely family outing. Its largely shaded route offers beautiful views of the Argens, the Barres de Pouaré and the Rocher de Roquebrune. This circuit also offers the opportunity to climb to the summit of Cabredor and cross the oppidum that occupies it.

A family hike that allows you to discover the banks of the Aille and Argens rivers and explore the flora of the communal forest of Les Arcs-sur-Argens

This is a beautiful hike of about 5 hours in the Colle du Rouët national forest in Le Muy, in a wild environment offering a 180° panorama to the south, with magnificent views of Saint-Raphaël, Fréjus and the sea to the east, and as far as Sainte-Baume and Montagne Sainte-Victoire to the west. The second part of the hike includes a tricky off-trail section through vegetation, from (5) to (7). Description of the possible alternative route in the Practical Information section.

A stroll in an exceptional place, discovering the gorges of the river Blavet and the cave of Mueron which was inhabited in the Bronze Age. Ideal in summer and on warmer days, avoid periods of heavy rain.

Easy walk on forest tracks from the Tour de Taradeau to the Croix with a superb view of the Argens plain.

This short hike takes you to an old millstone quarry and a prehistoric settlement with remarkable views.

This is a short tour that can be completed in an hour and allows you to recharge your batteries in nature. Starting from the Vidauban athletics stadium, after a few kilometres on a tarmac road, you will experience your first change of scenery with a ford that can be more or less difficult to cross depending on the season. Then you follow the golf course fence, first on a tarmac road and then, after a few hundred metres, on a very rough track, but the golf course offers magnificent views. Leaving the golf course, you enter the woods on small tracks, then cross another ford before reaching the Route du Plan de la Tour, after crossing another ford and the bridge over the Aille. The route ends by taking another grassy, shaded path.

This route can be challenging at times, especially after rain, but the landscapes it passes through are truly breathtaking. Starting in the Plaine des Maures, you cross a forest of umbrella pines, Douglas firs, holm oaks and cork oaks. The terrain varies greatly, from sand and pebbles to stones and tarmac, allowing you to catch your breath as you go. The highlights are the Route des Crêtes Marc Robert, which reveals Lac des Escarcets, a silvery lake in the middle of the green plain, and the descent of the Cinq Sedes, winding down to the village of Les Mayons with its many viewpoints. An unforgettable route!

A very picturesque route which, when the weather conditions are right, allows you to observe the Pic de l'Ours on the Estelle on one side and Notre-Dames des Anges on the Maures on the other, from the vicinity of the summit of Castel Diaou. You'll pass through a multitude of different landscapes in the woods, valleys and ridges. You follow the Argens and the Aille, and cross them after, or even before, overlooking them.

A beautiful hike between plains and low mountains, offering sumptuous landscapes. Start at the Aille and, after a few kilometres, tackle the first 3 km climb. Descend for 2 kilometres before tackling the hardest part: a climb of about 6 kilometres that starts on a track that is half sand, half earth, before turning into a stony track.

A beautiful, easy hike in the Maures plain. It crosses the plains, passes over the Aille, crosses fords, goes through woods, and ventures onto a botanical trail with descriptions. The return journey follows the same route, with a few variations, and, as on the way there, care should be taken on the bends in the track north of Les Plaines, which hide the watercourses that can cause severe erosion.

This easy walk offers beautiful views of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez on one side and the Estérel and Southern Alps on the other.

Ascent to the Sainte-Anne Chapel, located 624 m above sea level on the western summit of the Plateau du Puy, passing by the ruins of a Ligurian oppidum. Easy hike in the Provence scrubland and forest (thyme, lavender, rock rose...)

A walk through the Var forest ending in a forest of mimosas. Lovely views of the sea.

A walk in the hills above Sainte-Maxime, rewarded with a superb 360° view from the Estérel to the Maures, passing over the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and, on a clear day, the Alps.

A walk around a little-known village with hidden gems, close to home! Montferrat is located 14 km north of Draguignan. The hike starts at Place des Allées, west of the village in front of the pretty village school. The esplanade, a former transhumance site, is adorned with centuries-old plane trees and bordered by the Nartuby River. We are in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Most of the route is through woodland.

An easy walk in the Massif des Maures. Beautiful trails, rivers, streams, lakes and unique terrain. Not to mention the cork oaks, characteristic of the massif, and a varied flora (dwarf irises, anemones, orchids, etc.). Moderator's addition on 22/11/2021 Hike currently impossible due to a fire and the need to preserve nature. See comments at the bottom of this page. Addition at the end of 2023: see the Practical Information section.

An easy hike with little elevation gain. A wide variety of landscapes in a wetland area: wooded areas, vineyards, open spaces, rock formations, varied vegetation (beautiful dwarf irises in April). Numerous fords and streams, pleasant in spring. moderator's note: site closed since 10/09/2021 until further notice
