Walk: Collet des Graus de Pons

Filed under: Alpes Maritimes (06), France, Fun, Outdoor, Places, Walks — cswilly @ 16:30

Nice walk, with good views of the Cheron. While you walk the same trail to go and come-back, the views are completely different. There are ruins many Borie, and the “borie de Pons” was the most complete I’ve seen.

Less then two hours and seven kilometers and very easy all the way.

The RandOxygene guide is here and no real mistakes. Not the start of the trail does not have yellow or GR marks, they come after about 500 meters.

Crête du Mont-Macaron

Highly recommend walk with fantastic views of the Alps and Pre-Alps and the coast and …

Less then three hours and seven kilometers, mostly very easy with only one steep slidey bit.

The RandOxygene guide is here and no real mistakes. Parking near the main road is easy and so was following the trail.

The views, there are the ruins of the Châteauneuf (”Castrum Novum”) to see and are worth it.
