Guided hikes in the calanques
The calanques, the perfect playground for unforgettable hikes
The Parc National des Calanques boasts exceptional hiking trails for discovering the splendid landscapes of Marseille’s coastline. With steep cliffs, flora specific to the Mediterranean climate and turquoise waters, you won’t know where to turn! If there’s one must-see during your stay in Marseille, it’s the calanques: and what could be better than to plunge right into the heart of it all on a guided hike in the calanques?
Hiking in the calanques with a guide
Hiking in the calanques requires careful preparation beforehand, so that you can choose the path that suits you best (based on what you want to see, but also on your individual abilities), and so that you don’t get lost on the big day! Although the trails are well-marked, if you’re not at least initiated to hiking, some walks can quickly become a headache! That’s why we offer guided hikes with an expert National Park guide: in addition to guiding you along the trails, he or she will introduce you to the local flora and fauna, and tell you historical anecdotes you wouldn’t have discovered if you’d gone it alone…
Different hiking trails for all levels
Half-day guided hikes
For beginners or those who simply want to discover the calanques fairly quickly, we offer half-day hikes (3h to 5h) that will introduce you to hiking in the calanques from Cassis to Marseille. Many of the calanques are within easy walking distance, including Port-Pin, Sormiou, Marseilleveyre and the En Vau belvedere.
Guided day hikes
We also offer longer, and sometimes more challenging, day hikes to get you off the beaten track and discover breathtaking scenery. Whether it’s a combination of Sugiton, Morgiou and Sormiou, or wilder calanques such as Podestat, Escu or Mélette… book your guided hike in Marseille’s calanques!
