Calanques de Piana

Discover the Calanques de Piana, a geological formation listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Gulf of Porto. Don't miss the breathtaking spectacle of these amazingly shaped red rocks plunging into azure blue waters.

This loop hike starts at the Piana municipal stadium. Take the old mule track that joins the road near the Chalet des roches bleues. This paved path, bordered by a superb dry-stone wall, offers magnificent panoramic views of the Calanques. Once used by 19th-century mule-riders traveling from Piana to Porto, you'll be immersed in the region's history.

The second part of the hike takes you through the cool shade of the Piana pine forest. The route is well marked and not particularly difficult.
