Park on Chemin de la Cumba, just before the water treatment plant.
(S/E) Head towards the water treatment plant, then take the path on the left. Further up, you will reach a track that leads to a house. Make a slight first turn left then right, and you will quickly come to a junction.
(1) Leave the track on the left and continue straight ahead, passing through a barrier or gate, which you should remember to close behind you. Continue climbing until you reach marker 296.
(2) Turn onto the path on the left and get down to business with a slightly steep 100 m climb. The slope levels out after the electricity pylons. Turn right to reach the summit of Mont Arpasse, where there are two picnic tables.
(3) Continue a little further south to enjoy the view of the Var river flowing into the sea. Turn back and then veer right onto a path that avoids the track. Be careful, you are on a route used by mountain bikes, and even if there is plenty of room, don't get caught out.
(4) Return to the track but do not take it. Immediately turn right onto the path that cuts across several hairpin bends and joins the junction of the climb.
(1) Turn right and follow the outward route to return to the starting point (S/E).
Apart from these three animals, I was alone throughout the entire hike.
