Hiking Cabanelles circuit

Beautiful route towards the top of Gariglian with a panoramic view of the Mercantour valley and the entire Mediterranean coast from Menton to Nice.

From the Gorbio car park, head north-west of the Rank valley via a paved path. After passing the DFCI Valmour trail, continue your ascent to reach the trail.
Once arrived at the small source of Romin, follow the mule track which arrives on the right bank of the valley. Soon the landscape changes and the forest will welcome you to its lairs.
Around the Col de la Madone and near the limestone fortress of Baudon, you will have to take the opposite direction to reach the Cabanelles plateau.
Cross the summit of Galian, begin the descent on the lower Cabanelles to be able to take the path that will lead you to the Col de la Coupière.
To return to Gorbio, you will have to take a northerly direction which will lead to a concrete path of one km.
