Description
Would you like to discover a beautiful wilderness area in the south of France and enjoy a healthy walk in nature? Then join me on this thrilling day hike between Nans and Canaux in the Prealps d’Azur.
The National Forest of Nans is a stunning location, especially in autumn when the leaves are changing color. It is also the starting point of our adventure where we will set off after some warm-up exercises. The path through the forest will take us to the lovely historic village of Canaux, at the foot of the Thiey Mountain, where we will stop for lunch and to rest. Then, we will descend through a short, steep, slightly rocky path and arrive at a valley where we will enjoy a short break before returning.
Please keep in mind that this hike is open to all participants. In total, we will spend approximately 3 hours hiking and 2 hours resting. We will cover a total distance of 9 km and I will be there every step of the way to help and guide you.
So, are you ready to join a fun hike between Nans and Canaux? Then book your place now and start planning a wonderful adventure in the Prealps d’Azur!
I also offer a 1-day hike across the Préalps d’Azur Natural Park, from La Clue!

About the guide
Fred
Mountain Leader
I am 53 years old. I discovered the mountain world and its activities a little more than 30 years ago in the Ariège Pyrenees. I have since spent most of my free time in the mountains, until I moved there 7 years ago. I started guiding in 1990 when I arrived in the Alpes-Maritimes region as part of a small mountain club affiliated to the Mountain and Climbing French Federation. I certified myself as an UIMLA Mountain Leader in 2013 and started guiding qi-gong and discovery hikes.
I work mainly in the territory of the Prealps d'Azur. That is where I live and it’s the terrain I know. I live in Valderoure, about 45 minutes drive from Grasse. After working almost 24 years in computer science mostly in Sophia-Antipolis, I needed a return to nature, a simple life, the most autonomous and authentic possible. So I chose to settle myself in the countryside and work there.
I am a farmer-baker. I produce cereals and turn them into flour and bread. The bakery is located in the hamlet of Lattes, near Saint-Auban. Wheat grows in Collongues in the Estéron Valley. I chose to live a simple life, looking to find real wealth, living on the land, paying attention to everyday’s life, living with little, able to discover the land where I live in total simplicity.
I learn by walking. I share what I have learned and what I learn every day and I nourish myself from new encounters and experiences. That's what I would like to share with you.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
