Take the time to discover Vacqueyras in a different way! The winegrowers and merchants of Vacqueyras invite you to discover their beautiful landscapes between vineyards and heathland. This walking trail will guide you through vineyards and rural paths to the Garrigues plateau and back to the starting point in the centre of the village of Vacqueyras.

This circular walk starts from Vacqueyras and ascends to the Dentelles Sarrasines through fields of vines to Col, d'Alsau. From here a steep path leads up to the foot of the crags and follows the climber's path to the gap next to Rocher du Turk. From here the path descends on the other side of the crag and drops to the valley to pick up tracks and paths back to Vacqueyras via more fields of vines and woods. This walk is quite shaded in many places which makes it an option even in July or August. (In summer check for fire risk see practical information.)

Starting from Chusclan, this is a hike over different types of terrain (tarmacked paths between vineyards, DFCI trails, single-track paths, etc.). Viewpoints over the Rhone Valley and Mont Ventoux. Visit to the medieval site of Gicon.

A beautiful hike that takes you to the drystone shelters, old huts built from dry stones in the heath. Beautiful landscapes and panoramic views of the Rhône.

A loop accessible via wide paths for walking close to the Dentelles without being an experienced hiker. A moderate, steady climb will be rewarded with exceptional panoramic views of both the Rhône valley and a hilly landscape with terraced vineyards, magnified by the sharp outline of the limestone Dentelles. The silhouette of Mont Ventoux, the star of the Haut Vaucluse, can be seen in the distance to the west.

A hike for everyone. You will find typical Mediterranean vegetation, protected flora and fauna. Equip yourself with good walking shoes and water. Respect nature and the silence (take your rubbish with you). Making fires, picking flowers and wild camping are strictly prohibited. Only follow the waymarking colours mentioned in the description.

On one of the few hills in the Comtat Venaissin plain, a little way from the town, stands the Château de Thouzon and, in its lower part, the caves of the same name.
