The Massif des Maures, a natural gem of the Var
Situated between Hyères and Fréjus, the Massif des Maures stretches for over 60 km in the heart of the Var department. Discover this iconic natural area – with its wild hills, Mediterranean forests and exceptional panoramic views between land and sea – through Sainte-Maxime Tourisme.
Recognisable by its forests of cork oaks, chestnut trees and pines, the Massif des Maures is home to remarkable biodiversity. As the seasons change, the trails are adorned with colours and scents typical of Provence: Maures lavender, rockroses, everlasting flowers, heather and arbutus trees accompany your walks through unspoilt countryside.
The wildlife here is also rich and varied. Wild boars, squirrels, Hermann’s tortoises, birds of prey and numerous protected species inhabit this unspoilt area, which is ideal for lovers of nature and the great outdoors.
Whether it’s hiking, a family walk, mountain biking or simply a day out in the countryside, the Massif des Maures offers a wide range of routes suitable for everyone, providing a unique immersion in the natural landscapes of the Var and the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.
