Bormes-les-Mimosas walks

Circuit overlooking the Var coast above Bormes-les-Mimosas.

This hike leads around Bormes-les-Mimosas, and the flowering mimosas in particular.

This loop hike in the Maures mountains includes a visit to the Gauttobry dolmen, a listed monument. Superb view of the Hyères salt marshes.

Superb out-and-back coastal hike on the sentier du littoral between La Londe-les-Maures and Brégançon. Many beaches along the way.

A walk through the crests of the Maures forest. A breathtaking landscape taking in the Mediterranean and the Alps.

A hike looping around the Maures hills in the middle of cork oak forests. Lush vegetation with beautiful views of East Toulon. You take a portion of the GR51 called "The Balcony of the Mediterranean".

Between nature and town, this loop takes in Grimaud and its must-sees: the Chapelle Saint-Roch, the Pont des Fées and the Vallon de la Garde on the outskirts of the village, the church of Saint-Michel, the village's typical narrow streets, the Tour de l'Horloge, the Chapelle des Pénitents and the Château de Grimaud.

A superb hike at the tip of the Giens peninsula offering magnificent views of Porquerolles Island and the coast.

If you have an hour or two to spare, here is a short walk (tinged with a certain nostalgia) with no other pretensions than to discover or rediscover a corner of Carqueiranne that has not changed too much.

Beautiful hike around the Giens peninsula by the beach path.

An easy walk in the Massif des Maures. Beautiful trails, rivers, streams, lakes and unique terrain. Not to mention the cork oaks, characteristic of the massif, and a varied flora (dwarf irises, anemones, orchids, etc.). Moderator's addition on 22/11/2021 Hike currently impossible due to a fire and the need to preserve nature. See comments at the bottom of this page. Addition at the end of 2023: see the Practical Information section.

This is a walk I'm really enjoying at the moment with flowers along the route and a view of the Barres de Cuers. There's little difficulty, the false-flat is long, after the hives on the descent, so be aware. The hives are magnificent.

A nice climb to the top of Coudon (altitude 702 m) near Toulon.

Vieux Cannet des Maures is a village full of character, certainly worthwhile a visit. Entraygues, the cave chapel of Saint Michel and the natural arches of Argens.

A lovely easy walk, most of it by the sea.

A beautiful, easy hike in the Maures plain. It crosses the plains, passes over the Aille, crosses fords, goes through woods, and ventures onto a botanical trail with descriptions. The return journey follows the same route, with a few variations, and, as on the way there, care should be taken on the bends in the track north of Les Plaines, which hide the watercourses that can cause severe erosion.

A beautiful hike between plains and low mountains, offering sumptuous landscapes. Start at the Aille and, after a few kilometres, tackle the first 3 km climb. Descend for 2 kilometres before tackling the hardest part: a climb of about 6 kilometres that starts on a track that is half sand, half earth, before turning into a stony track.

A very picturesque route which, when the weather conditions are right, allows you to observe the Pic de l'Ours on the Estelle on one side and Notre-Dames des Anges on the Maures on the other, from the vicinity of the summit of Castel Diaou. You'll pass through a multitude of different landscapes in the woods, valleys and ridges. You follow the Argens and the Aille, and cross them after, or even before, overlooking them.

This route can be challenging at times, especially after rain, but the landscapes it passes through are truly breathtaking. Starting in the Plaine des Maures, you cross a forest of umbrella pines, Douglas firs, holm oaks and cork oaks. The terrain varies greatly, from sand and pebbles to stones and tarmac, allowing you to catch your breath as you go. The highlights are the Route des Crêtes Marc Robert, which reveals Lac des Escarcets, a silvery lake in the middle of the green plain, and the descent of the Cinq Sedes, winding down to the village of Les Mayons with its many viewpoints. An unforgettable route!

Hike starting from the charming village of Cabasse, near Carcès, where you can discover several historical sites.

A short but energetic walk that is exposed towards the end. Enjoy the stunning views from the top of Rocher de Roquebrune with its famous ochre colours.
