Guided tours and Hikes

With about 70% being natural areas, our region is strongly oriented towards the 5 large mountain ranges that line it and characterize it. To the West, the famous Garlaban and the Etoile Mountain range, to the East, the Regagnas and the mystical Sainte-Baume, and to the South the Saint-Cyr Mountain range.

There are many hiking opportunities starting from all the towns in the Pays d’Aubagne et de l’Étoile: the mining country, the banks of the Huveaune, the Languillard plateau, the Celto-Ligurian oppida…

The network of tourist hiking trails is made of public roads.

At crossroads, directional signposts tell the names of nearby places as well as the duration and distance to get there.

The Intercommunal Tourist Office provides guided and commented walks and hikes.
