Description

Ramatuelle and Saint Tropez are famous villages in the French Riviera and are well-known jet set hot spots in summertime, when many tourists come to enjoy the famous long sand beaches.

Coming during the winter, spring and fall seasons allows us to avoid the summer crowds and hot climate, so that we can hike and discover the beautiful and well-preserved sea coastline areas as well as protected areas of this region.

While hiking we head to a local nature reserve that includes Cap Lardier and Cap Taillat, both of which offer great views out over the sea and beaches.

The Mediterranean Sea colours are very nice and we can enjoy hiking on trails through the local shrub land, composed of Mediterranean flora, and on to some nice sand beach inlets.

After the hike, you may be able to visit Saint Tropez or Ramatuelle as well as the local vineyards for some wine tasting. (The costs of these activities are not included in the trip price.)

The best time for this trip is from October to May, so that we can avoid the crowds and have more of this lovely landscape to ourselves.

Depending on your preferences, we could do a variety of different hikes
on the trails of this preserved area, from 2 to 5 hours long and from 100 to 350 meters ascent. Overall, the hikes are pretty easy, making this a perfect trip for families.

The Cap Camarat hike is slightly more difficult and the Saint Tropez Cap hike is a bit easier. These also may offer other opportunities if you would like to hike 2 or 3 more days in the area.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for an incredibly scenic and fun-filled half-day of hiking the seashore around Ramatuelle and Saint Tropez!

If you like the look of this trip then I think you will also enjoy our nature discovery half-day hike in the Mimosa forests of Mandelieu-la-Napoule in southern France! You can also check out my full day hike in Cap Roux, in the Esterel Mountains.

Mountain Leader

I am a hiking guide (International Mountain Leader) who has been working all over France (including Provence and the Alps), Italy and Portugal since 2001. I speak fluent English due to my frequent trips to Taos Ski Valley (in New Mexico, USA where my family runs a great hotel and ski school), and my hiking trips in the American Southwest.

I live mainly in Nice (French Riviera), but I also move all over the Alps working in different alpine valleys. I often visit Martinique (French Caribbean island), where I enjoy rainforest and tropical hikes.

When I´m not guiding, I also work as a photographer, and like to climb, ski, play tennis, or kitesurf in my spare time. Additionally, I really enjoy botany and history.

I can guide you for a half day or for as many days as you like. I´ll take you to discover my favourite French Riviera alpine region, and the wild and large Mercantour National Park (counting 8 different valleys) near Nice, Monte Carlo and Cannes.

In my region we can enjoy the Mediterranean landscape at sea level. As we move into higher altitudes, we will discover alpine lakes, larch or pine forests, orchids and alpine flowers, open meadows, spectacular medieval perched villages and old baroque chapels and churches, with great historic value.

We can also discover the hiking hotspots in Provence such as Calanques National Park, Verdon gorges, Sainte Victoire and the Var region, with Saint Tropez a particular highlight.

I also love to hike in Italy in the very famous world heritage Cinque Terre (the amazing national park of the "Five Lands"), or in Liguria near San Remo.

And finally, I always enjoy taking my guests to the northern Alps: to Chamonix and Mont Blanc´s amazingly large panoramas or to the great Vanoise National Park, the largest in the heart of French Alps.
