Rocbaron walks

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

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

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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!

A pleasant hike that is not difficult. Approximately 12 km in total with a gentle slope both uphill and downhill. Just be careful on the way back as the path is rocky in places.

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.

A challenging hike with magnificent views of the ridge line.

A dense, cool forest and a panoramic view of the Provençal mountains with the Îles du Levant in the distance. A mostly elevated hike, a floral explosion in June, and a refreshing end along a small river.

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

A very pleasant hike along the banks of the Caramy, with swimming possible on the first part of the route.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

A few efforts through sometimes difficult scree slopes and some mini-climbs will lead us to discover: - the source of the Ripelle, - the Vieille Valette karstic cave, - the Gallo-Roman and medieval ruins, where you can imagine this village as an eagle's nest (the ancestor of La Valette) - the Trou de Gaspard (de Besse) - the decorated and sculpted sand caves to be explored by torchlight, - the old Tourravelle farm and its magnificent surroundings. Precautions: Read "Practical Information" below.

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