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".

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

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

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

This walk takes you through the Aiguilles de Valbelle site, with its rocky peaks rising out of the forest. Beautiful forest tracks, a few footpaths and the Chartreuse Notre-Dame de Montrieux (which cannot be visited).

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.

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.

Not a very long hike with less than 11 km but very hilly with a rocky, steep incline.

I went on two walks I found on Visorando: "Le Revest - Tourris Castle" and "Tourris and the Pyramide de Cassini" before finding this itinerary that I'm recommending. The beginning of the first until the departmental road then part of the initial section of the second. Unlike the "Pyramide de Cassini", we discovered a route that's not marked on the maps but which joins the "Chemin des Turcos" in a forested area. A walk with uneven terrain that can be difficult at times.

Parking near the Siou Blanc sheepfold. A very pleasant route, mostly on wide, sunny fire prevention tracks. Passes through a wonderful site: the Aiguilles de Valbelle.

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

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

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!

One of the most beautiful hikes in the Var.This hike climbs Mont Faron via wide tracks and offers breathtaking views of the most beautiful harbour in Europe.

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

Beautiful hike around the Giens peninsula by the beach path.

Walking along the western part of the Giens Peninsula on the coastal path is a feast for the eyes, with a succession of islets, coves and beaches, sometimes appearing behind the branches of tall pine trees.This is a fairly challenging route that follows some spectacular trails.

A lovely hike up to Pivaut ice house (1880), which has been beautifully restored.

A beautiful hike in the hills of Tourves. A remarkable view over the Saint-Maximin plains and the mountain La Loube. Wonderful opportunity to discover and tour the Saint-Probace Chapel

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 beautiful walk around the Saint-Mandrier peninsula. The coastal path takes you from the Pointe de Marégau to the beaches of La Coudoulière and Cavalas. Then discover the picturesque little port of Saint-Mandrier. The route ends with a return trip through the countryside. Some urban sections.
