You will cross the Pastré Park, an emblematic park in Marseille that offers you natural spaces spread over several hectares. On the way, Aleppo pines, holm oaks, laurel, thyme, a variety of juniper and other emblematic species of the Callanques Natural Park will be presented by the guide.

At the exit of the park, you will start the ascent to the goat pass, at 320 m altitude. At the top, it will be the ideal time to have a picnic and enjoy the panorama. This hike offers one of the best panoramic views of the Phocaean city, the Сallanque park and the sea. Then, you will start the descent through magnificent cliffs. At the beginning, some of the passages exposed will require your full vigilance. After a few minutes you will find caves to explore and the vegetation will start to change.

You will continue towards Callelongue which can be enjoyed from above. Sometimes paragliders will decorate the landscape. During the hike your guide will talk about environmental issues, the geology of the park and how humans have contributed to changes in the coastal environment.
