Departure from Puyloubier (Bouches-du-Rhône)
Route along the ridges of Montagne Sainte-Victoire from Puyloubier to the Anchois car park (leave a car there). A fairly long hike, with a few tricky sections (chains) and slippery patches depending on the season. Magnificent 360° views.
11/09/2024: The Imoucha trail will be closed for 3 months, from 1 October to 31 December (2024 and 2025). The hike cannot be undertaken during these periods. See practical information.

Departure from Saint-Antonin-sur-Bayon (Bouches-du-Rhône)
This trail is an alternative known to local hikers for reaching the Saint-Antonin car parks when they have just completed a circular in Sainte-Victoire: it avoids following the brown-marked route, passing through the Col de l'Oppidum (alt. 580 m), then descending a very steep and rugged path. There is a 40-metre less elevation gain, and when you are in a hurry to get to the car park or tired, taking this Trou trail is a good option, especially in bad weather.
