Hiking Holiday in the Luberon

The Provence region around Aix and the Luberon are ideal for hiking, allowing you to discover the treasures of our unspoilt countryside, from stunning landscapes and panoramic views to picturesque hilltop villages, Provence’s remarkable flora and fauna, small-scale rural heritage, vineyards and orchards… With Claude or one of his colleagues, set off to explore the magnificent trails of the Southern Luberon in the heart of unspoilt countryside.

For example, the Vallon de l’Aiguebrun (5½ hours, 350m elevation gain), the Colorado Provençal (5 hours, 300m elevation gain), the Forêt des Cèdres (5½ hours, 200m elevation gain), etc. You must be able to walk for up to 6 hours; previous hiking experience is recommended.

All year round, in both summer and winter, unspoilt and varied landscapes scented with thyme and rosemary await you, from vineyards to orchards and from garrigue to olive groves:  the mysterious Montagne Sainte-Victoire, rising to an altitude of 1,011 metres; the hilltop villages of the Luberon; the châteaux; the ochre-coloured landscapes; the vineyards; the spectacular scenery of the Gorges du Verdon and Mont Ventoux; the Alpilles; and the verdant Luberon massif… all of which are home to a rich heritage and local history. Make the most of the Aix region for your group hiking holiday!
