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.

What people are saying about Fabrice

Highly recommend hiring Fabrice as your guide for exploring southern France. As someone unfamiliar with the region, I wasn't up to the task of planning a hike on my own. Particularly a hike in the winter. Fabrice made it all easy. He is incredibly knowledgeable of the region's geography and weather and so was able to tailor a hike just based on the next day's weather forecast. A critical skill for hiking in December. I learned about the natural landscape, vegetation and even how to hike with less stress on my knees. He also taught me about Nordic hiking which is something I definitely want to try again. For sure, I'll be hiring Fabrice again on my next trip to France.

Fabrice is a first-class guide! Taking into account last-minute weather changes and after assessing our fitness, he quickly customised an exciting itinerary that led us from the Préalpes to the beautiful hilltop villages of Gourdon, Tourettes-sur-Loup and Saint-Paul-de-Vence. He pointed out great photo opportunities, so we managed to take plenty of nicely-framed photos on our smartphones. Fabrice also introduced us to the game of pétanque and thanks to him, we were able to understand and appreciate the games as they were being played by the locals during our trip.

Fabrice was a wonderful guide with a wide knowledge of not only the history of the area but the flora and fauna of the French Mediterranean coast. The hike provided beautiful views of the cities along the coast as well as the mountains behind them. Highly recommend both the hike and the guide.

Fabrice is an adept guide. He took us on some amazing hikes. We were happy to have him guide us to get the most out of our 3 days in Chamonix.

Had a wonderful hike with Fabrice as our hiking guide. Highly recommend! If you are from the East Coast of the U.S., recommend going one skill level down from what you think is the right fit for you, since the elevation/altitude of the Alps makes the hike harder than you are likely used to (less oxygen in the air). I did the "moderate plus" thinking it would be easy for me--it was a serious workout! :)
