June 18, 2025,Die drei Calanques von Cassis
Today we went on a truly spectacular beach hike. With a fjord-like feel, stunning beaches, rugged cliffs, and the blazing sun above us. It really took its toll on us at the end; it was so unbearably hot. But we also took a total of 4 hours to swim ☺️
And unfortunately, that was our farewell to the sea 😢 …

We start directly at the campsite, and by the time we reach the national park, we've already climbed the first 100 meters. At first, it's a leisurely walk along a wide gravel path above the small town of Port Miou. We stay on the narrow path along the cliffs, offering wonderful views of the sea. It's not easy, as the …

Trekking round or hike through the bays near Cassis. The path initially leads directly over the rocks by the sea, directly through the bathing bays. After a short ascent, great view of the elongated bay with the sailing boat harbor. On impassable paths (sometimes not even that) uphill again to the next bay. Steep slopes down to the next small …

Great, challenging hike with wonderful views of the Calanques, where you are rarely alone. It's worth starting early. Don't forget your swimwear, great swimming opportunities depending on the route you choose. Paths are safe, but not easy in places. Good footwear is recommended. Rocks are very slippery in places, so it's best to avoid it when it's wet. The beauty …

For the descent to the Plage d'En Vau you have to be sure-footed and agile. Otherwise it is better to take the wide hiking trail as it is indicated in the tour as the way back.

The last part down to the beach is a little difficult. Proper shoes and a good fitness is required.
Very nice but strenuous tour. Partially exposed terrain, sturdy shoes necessary (trekking shoes at best sturdy hiking sandals), water (1.5 -2 liters) is a must and provisions recommended.
Views and swimming in the calanques make up for the arduous journey!
