Here is a selection of hiking trails throughout the Calanques National Park.
On each page you will see pictures of the path, the landscape and the most difficult sections.
The colors used on the website match the colors you may find on the IGN maps and the real colors marked on the paths.
(Though if the color is different from what you see on the spot, you should better follow the trail one).
Between June 1st and September 30th, entrance in the calanques is regulated.
It may be forbidden to get there if there is a fire risk. To know if your hike is allowed during this time, go to the page: Entrance and restrictions in the forests
