A rounded peak surrounded by limestone bars with peaks, Mont Gros abruptly dominates the bay of Roquebrune and the vast beach of Cabbé where paragliders and hang gliders find an ideal landing ground. From the Col de la Coupière (440 m), head south up the DFCI Trois Monts track (GR 51) before soon turning left onto the small diverticulum known as the "Rossignola"; this brings you to a significant bend in the road where you leave the track once again for the path that rises up the ubac of Mont Gros to a small collet located just above the nearby summit. Make a short return journey to the take-off area to admire the panorama of the summit of Mont Gros (686 m) and the prowess of the "libéristes" on their way to the beach of Cabbé, the ideal landing area. From the collet of Mont Gros, descend due south along a good path facing the sea on the generously reforested adret; when you reach the Fenouil houses, turn left to cross the eastern side of Mont Gros horizontally. A final climb through a coppice of yew trees takes you back to a small pass where you can follow the same route as before; you can easily reach the Coupière pass by the path, then the track followed on the way up. Road access From the N.7 at Cap Martin, go up the D.51 road towards La Turbie for 2.5 km. On the inside of a large curve, turn right onto the D.50 road leading to Gorbio; follow this road for 1 km and then turn left onto the narrow and steep asphalt path of La Coupière which leads to the car park of the pass (440 m).

Beautiful route towards the top of Gariglian with a panoramic view of the Mercantour valley and the entire Mediterranean coast from Menton to Nice. From the Gorbio car park, head north-west of the Rank valley via a paved path. After passing the DFCI Valmour trail, continue your ascent to reach the trail. Once arrived at the small source of Romin, follow the mule track which arrives on the right bank of the valley. Soon the landscape changes and the forest will welcome you to its lairs. Around the Col de la Madone and near the limestone fortress of Baudon, you will have to take the opposite direction to reach the Cabanelles plateau. Cross the summit of Galian, begin the descent on the lower Cabanelles to be able to take the path that will lead you to the Col de la Coupière.

The GR 51 trail from Menton (Alpes-Maritimes) to La Madrague (Bouches du Rhône) crosses the villages of Castellar, Sainte-Agnès and Gorbio. A magnificent hike on the paths of the perched villages of the Mentonnais Country. Castellar is on the GR®51 long-distance footpath, Balcony of the Mediterranean, through the departments of Alpes-Maritimes, Var and Bouches-du-Rhône, from Menton to La Madrague.

This massive mountain plays the role of sentry of the high valleys and offers the visitor a look of exceptional magnitude. The trail starts shortly after the center of the village from Nice. 1- 1- Take a right turn on an asphalt track. Continue on a path passing behind some houses via the beacon 32. The trail rises quietly before winding up a bit.

A path soon rises to the left above a few houses; take it to a flat area and continue the ascent along a wide path with a steep gradient, which is followed by a winding path that winds through the cliffs of Mont Roulabre. You reach a fork in the road (1,168 m - b.92) just below the Scuvion drop; from here, head south on a quasi-horizontal crossing that leads via beacon 93 to the southern shoulder of Mount Razet where the "Pierre Pointue" (1,176 m) stands, a grey limestone tooth surrounded by military works. It is possible from this point to climb to the summit of Mont Razet (orientation table) by a small confidential path (b.93a); in this case add 110 m of ascent for 30 minutes of walking back and forth. Go back to marker 93, then descend on a beautiful winding path that runs through scree at the foot of a system of limestone bars. An oak grove precedes the abandoned countryside of Fontanelle, then come the first houses of the Biatonéa district where you find the small road followed on the way up.

When reaching Gourdon, a hilltop village labeled the most beautiful village in France, the hairpin bends more and more aery, increase between terraced crops. The way to heaven!
