Courses accessible to beginners
From medieval village you can climb a small hill to get to Our Lady of Constance. This small chapel from the 12th century nestled in the Bormes heights faces a amazing views in Bormes and its surroundings. There are two options to go there: either by a winding path in the bush, either in straight line on the side. In any case, it takes about 1h30-2 hours round trip (including time to admire the view, of course!). This one is rather easy, despite the small difference in level. Another possibility, in order to avoid the difference in altitude or to change the landscape, is the hike from Trapan Lake (6km). It is located at the entrance to Bormes and you can park right at its beginning.
