Saint-Martin-d'Entraunes walks
La Pointe de la Figuilière
A varied route, alternating between wooded sections and views of the Saint-Martin-d’Entraunes valley. The Pointe de la Figuilière, a stone’s throw from the Aiguilles de Pelens, offers an exceptional 360° panorama.
Tour de Roche Grande via Col des Trentes Souches and Vallon de l'Estrop
This is a long but very beautiful hike starting from Entraunes, taking you through two wild valleys and offering magnificent views of the peaks of the Haut Var and Haut Verdon, as well as the valley leading up to the Col de la Cayolle. This hike is particularly recommended in early summer when the flowers are in full bloom.
The Moulin de la Barlatte long version
Starting from Châteauneuf-d'Entraunes (near Valberg), this hike offers plenty to discover: a picturesque village, an old wheat mill (open to visitors in summer), impressive gorges... Sounds good, doesn't it?
Circular route around Châteauneuf-d'Entraunes via Les Terres Noires
A pleasant hike between the River Var and the Rocher de Chanabasse, of moderate difficulty, suitable for all. The route runs through the Terres Noires, named after the marl that makes up the soil. It can be tackled by downhill mountain bikes, particularly the return leg which overlooks a mini-canyon used during the Mercantour Enduro race. Stay alert.
Aiglière waterfall
A short hike that follows the Var river sources and takes you to the foot of the Aiglière waterfall.
The Lignin Lakes circular tour
A superb circular walk offering views of a charming little valley, then, after a short but steep climb, the plateau home to the Lignin Lakes. View the lakes and descend via a very beautiful path that crosses the plateau and passes close to La Lance, where you can see some superb pools and waterfalls. Return to the starting point. No particular difficulties apart from the length of the route, provided there is no snow on the ground.
Towards the Lignin Lakes
A beautiful hike starting at the Pont de la Serre by the Lance pools and leading to the Lignin Lakes through woods and alpine pastures.
Between Guillaumes and Sauze via the monumental Roche Trouée
A beautiful hike through woodland, featuring a monumental arch some fifteen metres high, a testament to a distant geological past, and Sauze, a small, isolated 13th-century mountain village, the outskirts of which are still farmed by a few die-hard farmers.
The chapel at Sauze Vieux and its wooden table make a lovely spot for a lunch break, facing Mont Saint-Honorat.
Mont Richarmet and Roche d'Arié
A beautiful, long hike overlooking the Var valley, starting from Guillaumes. Difficult due to its length, it includes a very difficult section that is only suitable for experienced hikers who are not afraid to use their hands to climb over rocks. It is possible to avoid this section; see the Practical Information section. I recommend this hike in autumn to enjoy the beautiful colours of the vegetation.
The Estrop Lakes
The Col de Gialorgues is a crossing point between the upper Var and upper Tinée regions, offering views of a glacial valley with the Lacs de l'Estrop lakes in a cirque.
Clue and village of Amen at the start of the Pont des Roberts
This is a very pleasant hike which, after a covered climb, offers breathtaking views of the Daluis Gorges.
The landscapes are magnificent, combining red, green vegetation and blue stone.
Swimming in the Clue d'Amen is a very pleasant experience in summer.
The abandoned hamlet of Amen is a major tourist attraction as it was a completely self-sufficient community for decades, with no other access routes than the hiking trails.
Route of the Balconies of the Daluis Gorges
A superb hike offering stunning panoramic views of the Nice region’s ‘Colorado’. This hike can be completed in one or two days, with an overnight stay at the Roua campsite (see practical information).
La Roche Trouée at the start of the Pont des Roberts
A short, moderately challenging hike offering beautiful views of the Var, the Gorges du Daluis and the Pont de la Mariée. The route, which is rarely used, passes through a pine forest before reaching the natural arch at La Roche Trouée, a true natural treasure. On your return to Pont des Roberts, visit the village of Guillaumes, a charming village nestled in the heart of the Upper Var Valley.
Mont Richarmet and La Roche Trouée from the Pont de la Mariée
A beautiful forest trail that begins with an ascent up the Vallon de Cante and three river crossings. The views of the gorges and the Alpine massif are countless. The passage beneath the natural arch of La Roche Trouée, a stone monument some fifteen metres high and a testament to a distant geological past, leaves all hikers speechless.The Saint-Joseph Chapel in Sauze-Vieux and its picnic area make for a popular spot for a lunch break, facing Mont Saint-Honorat.
Daluis Gorges
A route at the bottom of the superb Daluis Gorges! A water hike to be undertaken only in good weather, ideal in summer during hot weather. A hike accessible to children who can swim. Closed shoes are essential.
This hike crosses a protected natural site that is subject to regulations. See practical information.
