Mont Caume is a classic hike in the Var. For those wishing to minimise the elevation gain and avoid the climb up the path from the Col du Corps de Garde, we’ve put together this more modest route featuring a gentle ascent along the road and a descent via a pleasant footpath. The main thing is to have fun and enjoy the bright, panoramic surroundings of the highest peak in the Toulon hinterland.

Departure from Évenos (Var)
Perched at an altitude of 801 m, Mont Caume is one of the four ‘Toulon brothers’ that frame the city. Above all, it is the highest; its summit is very barren as it is highly exposed to winds and the vagaries of the weather. All these features make climbing it a must and well worth the effort. The suggested walk takes you almost all the way round it.

Departure from Hyères (Var)
The Grande Traversée des Maures, or "Montem Maurum" as it was described in the Middle Ages, has never been attempted. This "diagonal route through the Maures" takes us through magnificent Provençal landscapes. A varied, wild vegetation and exceptional views punctuate this route. This adventure begins in Hyères (former Templar commandery) and ends in Collobrières (capital of the Maures) during the first stage.

This walk connects Cuges-les-Pins to the Hostellerie (Plan d’Aups), passing through the Sainte-Baume ridges, the Col du Saint-Pilon and the Grotto of Mary Magdalene. On the ridges, the 360-degree panoramic views are magnificent. The Grotto of Mary Magdalene is steeped in history and spirituality, as it is said that the saint spent the last 30 years of her life there.
