Dentelles Sarrasines and crossing of Rocher du Turk from 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.)
The Montmirail tour off the beaten track
Here is a route of moderate difficulty that circles the former spa resort of Montmirail, a small hamlet outside the village of Vacqueyras, but within the municipality of Gigondas.The aim is to use, as far as possible, little-used and therefore unmarked paths in an area that can be very busy at weekends and in summer.A short trip off the beaten track, best avoided during wild boar hunts, which are common in autumn and winter.
