Superb section of the Toulon-Sainte-Maxime cycle path

Highlight • Cycleway

The Chemin du Train des Pignes is a nice section of cycle path laid out on a disused railway line. It offers cyclists the opportunity to enjoy a well-maintained pedestrian section of cycle path.

Ingenious bike path, no cars and enough space. Also suitable for racing bikes due to asphalt. The gradients are also moderate due to the railway line.

Very easy by taking the loop in reverse. In recovery it is perfect

It's a steep climb, no problem thanks to the e-bikes; and once at the top we enjoy the "Route de Crete", which takes us parallel to the sea along the mountain ridge; with great, wide views that would have been even more beautiful if the visibility had been clear. The path takes us past flowering slopes, olive groves, old cork …

Easy to moderately difficult tour from Pramousquier via Le Lavandou and Bormes-les-Mimosas, the Route des Crêtes to the Col de Canadel and back to the coast at Rayol. Magnificent view!

The ultimate highlight in holiday paradise. Conquer the mountains in gentle serpentines near Borm, enjoy a fantastic panoramic view on the ridge route, race downhill to the coast and roll back to Le Lavandou on the long-distance cycle path 😎

Mountains and beach combined. Great nature reserve in the mountains with great views of the sea, beaches and bays, long winding descents and great beaches.
