Le Vallon aux Mimosas starting from Port Ferréol

A gentle climb with beautiful views of the Estérel Massif. You will happily arrive at the summit to enjoy a beautiful view.
As you begin your descent, you will arrive in the heart of the mimosa valley. Fragrances and beauty!
Best done in good weather in February, of course!

Follow the blue trail and the route.

We went for a walk in the morning in the sunshine.
From the dolmens, there was a beautiful view of the Esterel and the snow-capped Alps.
Thank you, Visorando, for posting the new Friday hikes.
