Ascent of Coudon (83)
Departure from Solliès-Ville (Var)
A nice climb to the top of Coudon (altitude 702 m) near Toulon.
The sand caves at Revest-les-Eaux

The Bees of Cuers
Departure from Cuers (Var)
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.
Le Revest - Tourris castle for experienced hikers
Departure from Le Revest-les-Eaux (Var)
Not a very long hike with less than 11 km but very hilly with a rocky, steep incline.
The Dardennes - The Turcos - the Pyramide de Cassini
Departure from Le Revest-les-Eaux (Var)
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.
Le Faron
Departure from Toulon (Var)
One of the Var's most beautiful walks.
This hike climbs Mont Faron on wide tracks and offers a breathtaking view over the most beautiful bay in Europe.
Climbing up and around Mont Caume (804m)
Departure from Évenos (Var)
Perched at an altitude of 800 metres, Mont Caume is one of the four Toulonais brothers which surround Toulon. It is certainly the highest; its summit is very dry as it's very exposed to winds and fluctuations in weather.
All these factors make ascending Mont Caume essential and well worth it.
The hike suggested here enables you to go all the way round the mountain and combines the pleasures of a very active route with the joys of a pretty much complete visit to both its summit and its slopes.

Baou de Quatre Ouro (576 m) and Croupatier via the caves path
Departure from Ollioules (Var)

Paths and ledges where you have to use your hands, passages with ropes, discover the main caves of the massif, where the famous caves of the Château du Diable make the route more interesting.
Château du Diable and the Destel Gorges in Ollioules

The path alternates between shaded areas in the Mediterranean scrubland and parts where the sun heats the limestones of the La Colle massif.

From Chibron to the Devil's Bridge
