Departure from Cipières (Alpes-Maritimes)
This short but challenging hike starts in Cipières, a village at the foot of the Calern plateau facing the Cheiron massif, and takes you to the banks of the Loup, a 49km coastal river (the second longest in the Alpes-Maritimes) through deciduous forests.
Once you reach the banks of the Loup, you will walk along the buried Foulon aqueduct, which supplies water to Grasse and the surrounding area.
Unfortunately, although the river is right by the path, it remains difficult to access.

The hike starts with an uphill climb to Pré de Marthe, where you can enjoy a view of Montagne du Cheiron. At Baisse de Saint-Barnabé, you can visit the magnificent Oratoire de Saint-Jean-Baptiste. The return journey takes you through the village of Courmes, which is well worth a visit.

After a walk through a beautiful forest of scattered oak trees, this little-known peak is a stunning summit that can be climbed with little difficulty. The villages of Cipières and Gréolières are visible in the view. A wonderful discovery.

Departure from Tourrettes-sur-Loup (Alpes-Maritimes)
A lovely, fairly easy walk suitable for families or couples. You’ll mainly be following quiet paths, an old railway line and the famous Route des Gorges du Loup. Magnificent views of Tourrettes-sur-Loup, Bar-sur-Loup, Gourdon, the Gorges du Loup and a brief stop at the Château de l’Amiral de Grasse.

Difficult
Departure from Andon (Alpes-Maritimes)
A beautiful circular walk starting from the Sources du Loup, which I’ve classified as difficult due to its length and route, taking you to the summit of the Audibergue with a 360° view of the Mercantour, the Estérel and the Massif des Maures.

Departure from Andon (Alpes-Maritimes)
Another route leading to the ruins of Castellaras and Lac de Thorenc, which follows part of the existing route on Visorando. It starts from the D5, at a place called La Pinée, and is just as interesting.

Departure from Gourdon (Alpes-Maritimes)
After visiting the hilltop village of Gourdon, the old mule track will take you to a natural site nestled at the bottom of a steep-sided valley. The Gorges du Loup reveal themselves to our eyes. Numerous waterfalls, the Courmes waterfall, the Saut du Loup and aerial views from the Pont de l'Abîme are all on the menu for this beautiful hike.

Departure from Tourrettes-sur-Loup (Alpes-Maritimes)
A short, fairly easy walk, consisting of a series of ascents and descents, through a forest situated between two valleys, a short distance from residential areas. You won’t find any remarkable views here, but it is a peaceful, family-friendly spot.
