Nature at its best<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For almost twenty kilometers, the Toulon mountains form a natural barrier between the hinterland and the Mediterranean. Made up of Mont Caume, Mont Coudon, Baou de Quatre Aures, Gros-Cerveau<\/a>, the Cap Sici\u00e9 massif<\/a> and Mont Faron<\/a>, these hills of limestone, pine forest and garrigue dominate Toulon, its harbour and the surrounding communes. A perfect playground for hikers, climbers and mountain bikers, the Toulon mountains are home to a remarkable and well-preserved biodiversity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Mount Faron<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Rising 584 metres above Toulon and its harbour<\/a>, Mont Faron is not the highest of the Toulon mountains, but it is nonetheless the most famous. A natural site inseparable from its cable car<\/a> – which takes Toulon residents and visitors to the summit in just a few minutes – it offers a 360\u00b0 view of the city and its surroundings. Mont Faron is the ideal backdrop for a wide range of sporting and leisure activities in the heart of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mount Caume<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The highest point in the Toulon mountains, Mont Caume, at 804 metres, is a popular destination for hikers. From its dominant position, the view of the Var coastline, the Sainte-Baume massif and, on a clear day, the Corsican relief, adds a spectacular, timeless dimension to your walk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

    Mount Coudon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    A majestic sentinel of the Toulon mountains, rising to an altitude of 702 metres, Mont Coudon dominates the towns of Toulon<\/a> and La Valette-du-Var<\/a>. Stroll along its trails with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean and surrounding hills, all the way to the Alps on a clear day. Its limestone and pinewood slopes are ideal spots for cyclists and rock climbers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Our advice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When walking or hiking in the Monts Toulonnais, make sure you have suitable walking shoes, plenty of water and a map or app to help you find your way around the trails. Check the weather conditions before you leave, and respect the rules of nature conservation when you’re there. From June to September, consult the fire risk map of the massifs before you go out.EN SAVOIR<\/a> +<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
