The story

The Pic de l’Ours is a summit of the Estérel. You can see its transmitter tower even from Cannes. The trail climbs to the foot of the tower. Inland you can see the neighboring Estérel peaks, Mont Vinaigre and the Rocher de Roquebrune, and on a clear day the Mercantour Alps. Toward the sea lie Fréjus and Saint-Raphaël, Le Trayas, the Lérins Islands, Mandelieu and Cannes. The way down is steep and stony in places.

Visiting

The descent is steep and stony. You can walk down the paved road instead: it is easier but takes about 20 min longer.
