The departure point is from the car park at Domaine des Courmettes.
(S/E) Join the track below and follow it to the left, going around the barrier. You will quickly reach an intersection.
(1) Continue on the track to the right, passing the first signpost (no. 187).
(2) At the second marker (no. 187bis), turn left onto the wide path towards Pic de Courmettes.
The climb begins gently through scrubland until you reach the ruins of Jas de l'Éouvière.
(3) Continue to the right (Aigle Bleu signposting put in place by the Domaine des Courmettes). The slope becomes steeper as you enter the forest. A few minutes later, as you leave this oak forest, the view opens up towards the coast and Nice on the right. Follow the path and the sparse yellow markings to reach the summit in about 20 minutes.
(4) On a clear day, there is a magnificent 360° panorama of the sea from Cap Ferrat to the Estérel, the Gorges du Loup and Cheiron, and the Mercantour mountain range from Argentera to Mont Bégo.
To descend, follow the yellow markings a few metres to the left of the ridge, then move closer to it as you enter the forest before turning onto the north-facing slope. A few tricky sections require the use of your hands. This steep and fast descent leads you to a forest track (marker no. 189).
(5) Turn left towards Domaine des Courmettes. Follow the track to marker no. 188.
(6) Turn left again towards Domaine des Courmettes. Once you approach it, take the track on the right to discover the estate and its pleasant meadows before returning to the car park (S/E).
