                There is a long, steep descent, but the views are magnificent on both the Sainte-Baume and Sainte-Victoire sides.

                This is a short, challenging hike, which could be described as "ravine hiking", in the steep, arid ravines of the Coutronne (now a dry river) and the Infernets to the Encanaux. There, the latter flows into the Vède in a charming, shady and fairly wide spot, which is popular with walkers at the weekend.
The hike takes you through the potholes (giant's kettles) of the two rivers, in truly wild surroundings.
The first ravine is very rarely visited.

⚠️ This hike should not be undertaken between 15 February and 15 July in order to respect the tranquillity of the area and not compromise bird reproduction on the Marcel Estruch trail.

                La Sainte-Baume as you've never seen it before: a ledge at the foot of imposing rocky peaks, a short climb to reach an isolated plateau offering panoramic views of the Alps as far as Cap Sicié. The entire walk is on small, wild trails, just the way I like them.
A challenging walk with an 8-metre rock climb, rated 2 at most (easy scrambling).
