Séranon walks

A beautiful and pleasant hike, without any particular difficulty, dotted with historic sites and varied landscapes: rocky terrain, woodland and plains. You won’t be bored for a minute and, as a grand finale, a breathtaking 360° panorama from the highest point.

Starting from the charming village of Valderoure, this route with its varied landscapes will take you through a pine forest to the hamlet of Les Beaux. After crossing the Lane and Artuby rivers, you will pass through the hamlet of Malamaire before returning to Valderoure, still in the forest.

A superb hike in the Grasse hinterland. On the agenda: megaliths, magnificent views of the entire coast (on a clear day) and, to finish, a superb waterfall in an exceptional setting.

The route is not particularly difficult and can easily be done on snowshoes if there is enough snow. The summit section of the route offers superb views of the Caille plain and all the surrounding peaks.

A short circular hike to the top of the Audibergue ski resort. A beautiful panorama of the Mercantour mountain range, the peaks of the Grasse region, the Mediterranean Sea (Lérins Islands and Golfe de la Napoule) and the Estérel.

A route with a fairly steep climb, rewarding you, once at the summit, with a 360° view of the Southern Alps stretching all the way to the sea. Includes a visit to a chapel and the old village of Peyroules. Above 1,700 metres, there is no longer a clearly marked path; you’ll need to navigate using the GPX file, cairns and tracks on the ground.

Set off to conquer the roof of the Var and enjoy the magnificent panoramic views from the summit.

A short, easy climb to a peak in the Haut Var with a 360° view and the chance to see some megalithic ruins. A beautiful walk through the heath.

The final stage of the hike in the Haut-Estéron region; this route mainly follows tracks through the woodland before reaching the ridge of Mount Charamel, which is well worth the detour in its own right: the view is sublime. You then descend gently back down to the village of Le Mas.

Remains of medieval Saint-Auban, breathtaking views of the mountains and a sublime finale at the edge of the Clue de Saint-Auban. Please note that part of the route is by road.

The walk starts and ends at the car park right next to Lake Thorenc. The aim is to enjoy the magnificent view at the foot of a TDF relay mast: to the south, the waters of the lake at the start of the walk reflect the surrounding forest, and further to the east stands the Castellaras, a natural defensive stronghold.

An easy walk that showcases the heritage of Mons (dolmen, old canal, wash house, chapel, etc.). This walk combines culture and family fun, with clear views of Cannes and Saint-Raphaël at the start of the route. At the end of the walk, you will find yourself almost in the heart of the village of Mons, classified as a "village of character". The Écho du Baou association offers guided and commented tours of this walk. It is a hiking route and a digital trail.

A very pleasant, easy family hike through pine forests and small meadows, ideal for a picnic in the mountains.

At an altitude of over 1,400 metres, this pleasant hike through the pine trees takes you on a journey of discovery through an enchanting environment. The Pic de Fourneuby overlooks the village of Le Mas and offers a 360° panorama of the foothills of the Alpes-Maritimes and neighbouring departments.

This hike is accessible to all. The highlight is the magnificent site of Castellaras, the only difficulty being the climb, which is nevertheless reasonable. The hike starts from the picturesque health resort of Thorenc. The route also offers views of Lake Thorenc and the Château des Quatre Tours. The variety of landscapes and paths is another interesting aspect of this hike. What's more, there are no navigation difficulties.

A family hike to discover Mons, the Oratory of Saint-Pierre and the Riens megalith. The Riens dolmen is located in the centre of a tumulus and housed collective tombs. The commune of Mons has several dolmens from the late Neolithic period, which bear witness to an important social group more than 4,000 years ago. The capstones of the Riens dolmen are missing; it housed collective tombs. One of them probably lies on the ground on the north side, the other has disappeared. The entrance to the chamber is very unusual, with an ogive shape not found anywhere else. Two other dolmens without capstones can be seen on the path leading to Escragnoles: the Colle dolmen and the Brainée dolmen.

This hike on the edge of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence offers a varied route through forests, rocky outcrops and even a riverbed. It is not particularly difficult, although some descents can be a little steep. It also gives you the opportunity to visit the pretty Saint-Pierre Chapel, tucked away in the woods.

A beautiful circular walk in the Préalpes d'Azur Regional Park.This moderately difficult route will take you from the Siagne valley to Escragnoles via the Briasq Forest. You will reach the Baou Mourine watchtower, which offers exceptional views. The descent follows the Cavalet ridge to return to the starting point.

In the foothills of the Alps, along the Siagne trail, set off to discover the historical trail of Napoleon in March 1815, from Saint-Vallier-de-Thiey to Escragnolles. Archaeological evidence also suggests that this route along the Siagne has been in use for thousands of years, as dolmens, burial mounds and rock shelters have been found in the immediate vicinity.

This walk, with its varied landscapes and elevation changes, largely follows the route of the GR®510, passing through both wooded and rocky areas. It starts at the imposing EDF reservoirs at Saint-Césaire and runs high above the Gorges de la Siagne, offering magnificent views of the Grasse Pre-Alps. After passing through the Combe valley, we gradually reach our destination: the Ponadieu Arch, a stunning rock formation whose pillars plunge into the green waters of the Siagne. The return journey begins on a path with a few tricky sections, before rejoining the Bois des Malines path taken on the way out.

This is a physically demanding hike, but the wooded areas you will pass through are remarkable. The highlight of the day is the passage through the tunnels bordering the Siagne cliffs. The Deux Goules cave is one of the local attractions.

Far from the most popular trails in the Alpes-Maritimes, this walk takes you through a few small villages in the upper Estéron valley. The circular route described here also offers some lovely panoramic views of the Mercantour mountains and features a fairly varied landscape, ranging from woodland to farmland. A long route with significant elevation gain but no technical difficulties. Please note: there appears to be an issue regarding private property.However, there is an issue between the waymark (7) and (8). The path is now closed by the owner of the farm. You must continue via the Crête des Rochers des Côtes and then rejoin the path at the far end of the Rochers de Notre-Dame.

Circular route from the village of Gars to Briançonnet. This hike takes you to the impressive Source de Gars, the birthplace of Célestin Freinet, pioneer of modern education. It is a varied route that passes through the village of Briançonnet and the ruins of its feudal castle, from where there is a beautiful view of the surrounding area. Both villages are well worth a visit for their rich heritage.
