Departing from Marseille, at the gateway to the National Park, we embark on a full-day journey through the Calanques, reaching all the way to Cassis.
The outbound route predominantly follows forest tracks (DFCI), passing through key points such as the Sormiou Belvedere, Luminy Estate, Chalabran Valley, Col de l’Oule de la Gardiole, and finally, the Calanque de Port Miou. Several variations of this route are possible.
We take a substantial break in Cassis for dining and enjoying a swim. It’s advisable to bring a picnic for this outing, although dining options are also available in Cassis (restaurants or snack bars). This excursion is designed for a sporty audience comfortable with off-road cycling and is reserved for adults. We prefer small group sizes, and the itinerary may have variations and adaptations based on the group’s skill level.
