Collobrières walks

A very pleasant loop trail allowing you to visit the menhirs of the Plateau de Lambert, dating from between 5,000 and 7,000 years ago. There is a majestic chestnut tree stump near the forest house. This almost thousand-year-old chestnut tree stump is attributed to Madame de Sévigné, who came to the Plateau Lambert farm to relax and recharge her batteries at the foot of the chestnut trees. It burned down in the 1980s.

The Grande Traversée des Maures, Montem Maurum described in the Middle Ages, has never been attempted. This "diagonal of the Maures" allows us to discover magnificent Provençal landscapes. Varied, wild vegetation and exceptional views punctuate this route, which starts in Collobrières (capital of the Maures) and leads to La Garde Freinet, the highest village in the Massif des Maures.

I suggest a walk that will take you to the Lambert Plateau on a shaded route along the Verne.

A short loop in the heart of the Maures forest to admire the Menhirs de Lambert. Part of the route is on a paved road (but closed to traffic) and wide forest tracks.

A circular loop in the heart of the Forêt des Maures, where you can admire the Chartreuse de la Verne and the Menhirs du Plateau Lambert.

A short loop with superb views, to be done before or after visiting the charterhouse.

A walk through the crests of the Maures forest. A breathtaking landscape taking in the Mediterranean and the Alps.

Circuit in the Massif des Maures, between narrow paths and wide tracks, passing by the Sommet du Bœuf and the Collobrières weather radar.

A pleasant outing to the valleys of Grand Noyer, La Gourre and Le Révérencier, where you will alternate between pretty drovers' roads, water points, old mule tracks, undergrowth and old stone bridges...

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.

Hike in the Maures massif along a few little-known paths to the famous summit of Grand Gageai.This is a short hike but with elevation gain and sections on little-used paths that are often steep and sometimes overgrown.

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 short, easy walk starting from the Trapan Dam and along the ridges between Bormes and La Londe, with magnificent panoramic views.

Hilly route around Lake Trapan. Also offers a view of Fort Brégançon.

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

The beautiful view of the harbour from the village is very charming, but what can be said about the view from the top of Notre-Dame de Constance, 160 metres higher up?

The Saint-François car park in Bormes-les-Mimosas is the starting point for this hike. Once on the ridge, this route offers splendid views of the Hyères harbour, the Bormes harbour, the Hyères Islands, Cap Bénat and far beyond towards the Alps. The Pierre d'Avenon, a crystalline chaos, is an exceptional promontory from which to enjoy a 360° view of the landscape. The route is marked in blue for most of the way. Most of the route is shaded by Mediterranean vegetation consisting of oak and arbutus trees. It presents no technical difficulties, although some short sections are quite steep among the rocks. The hike ends with a visit to the Chapel of Constance before descending to the village via the Way of the Cross, marked by a few oratories.

An easy hike starting from Super Lavandou and following the Chemin du Bargidon. Exceptional views throughout the hike over the bay of Bormes and Le Lavandou, the Hyères islands and even as far as Toulon. When you reach the Route des Crêtes, the view becomes sublime!

A beautiful hike in the hills above the village offering views of Bormes Bay, one of the most beautiful bays in the world, and the Hyères Islands. Discover lush nature and layers of history, all while enjoying an exceptional panorama. 17/02/2026: Modification of the hike to avoid private property.

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.

Park in the car park next to the town hall annex and the post office. A superb view and a good little climb, a bit too much tarmac for me. Very well signposted, it's a superb loop.

An easy hike with little elevation gain. A wide variety of landscapes in a wetland area: wooded areas, vineyards, open spaces, rock formations, varied vegetation (beautiful dwarf irises in April). Numerous fords and streams, pleasant in spring. moderator's note: site closed since 10/09/2021 until further notice
