A very varied hiking trail with exceptional views of the Haut-Var hills. Refreshing passage along the stream, which feeds the Villecroze Park waterfall and stop at the orientation table.
Cross rue Ambroise Croizat to reach rue Joseph Gabriel and immediately turn right onto passage César. Turn left and continue to the bottom of the nursery parking. Turn right towards route de Salernes and the Saint-Victor chapel. 1. Take the stairs on the left, go down in front of the gazebo and continue until you reach the D51 road between Villecroze and Salernes. Turn right, then right again onto chemin des Espèces. After 20 m, take the first track on the right in front of the house n°78. Go uphill, pass a barrier and keep going up for 30 min. The path ends up on a wide forest track - Be careful and take the track on the right! Cross the D557 road between Villecroze and Aups. When you come to a cistern, turn right and go through the barrier. Climb over the restanque – 2. Be careful, this is a tricky section! Turn right immediately. Cross the plateau, then take a rocky path leading downhill. 3. Cross the road, turn left, cross the meadow and follow a path to the right of a large pine tree. Follow the stream, ignore a footpath on the left and continue until you reach a road. Turn right, then left for 30 m. Turn right onto the path. Once on the road, continue until you pass a barrier and follow the markings on the ground. Take the path on the right. After 100 m, take a path on the right leading downhill to the old road to Tourtour. Turn left and return to the village - Be careful, this path runs alongside the D557 road!
