Pierrefeu-du-Var walks

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".

A short climb to the Chapelles Sainte-Christine and the Chapelle Notre-Dame de Santé with its sundial on the ground. This is also an opportunity to discover part of old Cuers and the various wash houses along the way.

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 beautiful hike, with a good climb and a superb view of the heights. It's a shame about the end, 30 minutes of tarmac...

A pretty loop with no particular difficulties, on tracks, among oak and arbutus trees in the Maures mountains.

This route takes you along rediscovered paths and, above all, through the hamlet of Valcros with its square, chapel, tree and oven. Next, head to the Trubis cave when there is water. Afterwards, head towards the Castellas oppidum, but that will be for another time, and return to the Saint-Christine Chapel to appreciate its history and the view.

A very pleasant loop that takes you along the Barre de Cuers via Les Veys. The lower part is on a green trail. The upper section, along the Barre, offers magnificent views with Porquerolles, Port Cros, Le Levant and the main peaks of eastern Toulon in the background. The west-east orientation of the Barre means you can avoid the mistral wind. Despite strong winds, the trail is sheltered and easy to walk. Spring is the best season as it gets hot in summer.

A visit to the Gaoutabry dolmen is a classic outing in the London hinterland. A previously published hike accessed it from the Tamary valley. We went there in February 2016 and March 2018, starting from the village of Notre-Dame des Maures, which still bore the scars of the terrible Pansard flood of January 2014.

A beautiful "wild" hike on the ridges of Puget-Ville, then the "Thèmes" trail.

An easy, short walk to discover the ruins of the feudal castle of Saint-Sauveur above Rocbaron. Moderator's note Some people had difficulty finding the return route. See reviews

This hike combines physical activity with culture. It will take us on a journey of discovery through the ruins of Hyères Castle. The local council has installed information panels on the site, allowing us to imagine what life was like in those days. Before that, this beautiful walk will take us to the recently renovated Notre-Dame du Fenouillet Chapel.

This route will take you up to Solliès-Ville and then past the Notre-Dame du Deffens Chapel. On the way back, you will follow the bed of an old stream.

A beautiful hike in the Maures mountains, with the ascent of Notre-Dame des Anges. The 360° panorama includes views of the Hyères islands, the Collobrières valley, the Maures plain and Sainte-Baume.

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

A walk in the hills of Forcalqueiret Castle: Le Castellas. As access to the ruins has been prohibited since 2017, this circuit brings together several pleasant trails that reveal the castle from different angles.

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

This route follows the coastal path along the sea. You can see flamingos and various birds on the old salt marshes.

The walk to the Saint-Quinis Chapel offers exceptional views of the Issole Valley from the ridge.

A very pleasant loop trail allowing you to visit the menhirs of the Plateau de Lambert, dating from between 5,000 and 7,000 years ago. There is a majestic chestnut tree stump near the forest house. This almost thousand-year-old chestnut tree stump is attributed to Madame de Sévigné, who came to the Plateau Lambert farm to relax and recharge her batteries at the foot of the chestnut trees. It burned down in the 1980s.

A walk through the Var forests, alternating between trails and wide tracks, and from Pilon Saint-Clément, a path along the cliffs with magnificent views of the sea.

A short, easy walk starting from the Trapan Dam and along the ridges between Bormes and La Londe, with magnificent panoramic views.

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

A natural asset exploited by the local glass industry. A route through woodland where you will see the remains of dwellings, wells, sand and stone quarries, and former industry, near the derelict hamlet of Les Olivières.

A walk through holm oaks to the Revest lake viewpoint passing by a cave which can be visited.

An easy walk in the Garéoult Communal Woods. The route alternates between paths through oak woods and stony tracks. The woods provide food for goats, which graze on the bushes and low oak foliage. Their milk is made into cheese at the Bergerie du Défens.

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.

A beautiful hike that is neither long nor difficult, and which can be extended to the Source des Orris if you have more time.

A short loop starting from the Garonne beach, reaching the summit of the Colle Noire via the Port des Oursinières, the Cap Garonne mine, the forts of Gavaresse and Colle Noire, and the Navicelle and Tibouren vineyards. To the west, there is a view of the Grande Rade, Notre-Dame du Mai and the Bec de l'Aigle; to the east, the Tombolo de Giens, the Îles d'Or, Brégançon and Cap Bénat.

Randonnée longue qui regroupe certaines des nombreuses possibilités du massif de la Colle Noire en une seule randonnée, alliant le bord de mer, les forts et le massif forestier tout en évitant au maximum les secteurs bitumés.

A loop starting from the Garonne beach, reaching the Fort de la Gavaresse via the Port des Oursinières, the Cap Garonne mine, and the Navicelle and Tibouren vineyards.

A pleasant hike offering magnificent 360° views from the summit, stretching from the Alps to the sea via Mont Ventoux. Route for experienced hikers.

Starting from the port of Les Oursinières in Le Pradet, here is a short loop towards La Gavaresse via "Mauvalon". The "Baisse du Comte", a promontory with a superb view, can be reached via well-maintained but not overly frequented paths.

Warning dated 23 May 2025. (Pending modification). User comment.(!) Hello, after (1), it is no longer possible to climb up into the valley due to a fence with a sign saying "private property, no trespassing". We had to turn back and climb up via the route planned for the descent. Hiking in Provence Verte. In 5 to 6 hours, discover several beautiful places near La Roquebrussanne. The old Saint-André chapel hidden in the mountains, the summit of La Loube with a view to the north towards Sainte-Baume, Saint-Maximin and Brignoles and to the south, the sea and the Iles d'Or, the cave of the 400 sheep.

A short route that climbs up to the summit of the Loube mountain where you can enjoy a panoramic view over the sea and Alps. A wonderful walk with every step!
