| Wooded hills of the Maures Mountains | “While the town has marked a few trails for the pleasure of its visitors, I especially like this mostly unmarked hike because of the variety of views: the Rocher de Roquebrune, the gurgling river la Petite Maurette, the mountains of l’Escaillon, la Haute Cavalière, la Cavalière and the wonderfully weird hermit shelter…” -From Azuralive |

| Cap Roux Hike | The first half of this hike is on paved roads (closed to traffic); the upper part on trails. Trail marking for the upper part is poor to nonexistent, so a map is necessary. With a map, if you do go wrong, the many alternate trails will work as well as the planned route. | Between St.Raphael and Cannes | Map (50 min) |
| La Motte has a nifty little trail that heads to a water fountain called le Saut du Capelan (the priest’s dive). This is where the Nartuby river, a river that begins and ends entirely within the Var department, plunges some 22 meters to a splash and a rumble. The loop from the main village to the waterfall and back runs about 3 kilometers and takes about one hour. It’s well-marked from the center of town. | La Motte Centre |
Esterel Mountains
Located between the Mediterranean coast and Provence, the Estérel is a volcanic range that covers 32,000 hectares, including 14,000 protected hectares. Rhyolite, an igneous rock formed in the Paleozoic era, gives the mountains their striking red colour. Guided or self-tours are available for mountain bikers, horseback riders and hikers: Link
