We just visited the "massif" by following the road "corniche d'or" that goes over the sea side allowing to see splendid panoramas, thoroughout the many observation points. both on the "calanques" and towards the mountain. Obviously it was not so easy to reach the sea due to the ripidty of the zone .
5 minutes drive from Esterel Caravanning is the massif with numerous circular walks ranging from very easy to challenging - walking maps are available from site reception for free. Highly recommended with fantastic views along the riviera.
You start at the beach, either hiking, biking or running. Soon you'll wash out the hot sun with a breeze as you climb up the steep hills. Up there you'll easily forget that you were at the sea. Magnificent views as you wind through the massif.
Spent a week in this beautiful area in May and hiked around Massif de L'Esterel between Miramar and Cannes - beautiful weather, great little day hikes. All you need is water, a camera, hat, shoes and good friends! Trails are good (not difficult, but not always level), & signage is generally well done. There is one trail that doesn't have a "dead-end" sign until you've gone too far to turn back! We had to hike out through a gated community and rather than scaling a mountain, it was a 10-foot gate! But great fun, great food in the area, gorgeous views! Loved it!
Beautiful landscape, out of this world, so Breathtaking seeing the mountains on one side and thé sea on thé next...idyllic.
Spectacular scenery; impressive red rocks and well-maintained tracks. Some of the waymarking could be improved. Free parking.
I absolutely loved this visit.Very relaxing.You can lose yourself for miles on the walk trails here. The scenery is so beautiful. I really want to return and watch a sunset here.
A short drive from Agay and you find yourself in a strange but spectacular landscape. The soil is reddish, the vegetation green, while the sea and the sky merge their surounding blue depths. And it becomes more and more astonishing as you climb the unforgiving, rocky paths, following the very well positioned markings. On top of the mountain, the panorama of the coastline is breathtaking.Just do it! You won't regret it.
A gravel/dirt road accessible from the residential area does several switchbacks to climb the Massif. Even going part of the way up offers panoramic views of Agay, the Bay, and the coastline to the East and West, possibly as far as St. Tropez.
Whether walking cycling or climbing this is the place to go. Easily accessible and worth a visit just for the scenery and rock formations.
