Tour of Gréoux-les-Bains
An easy walk that will take you from the banks of the Verdon to the heights overlooking Gréoux-les-Bains
Le Marchand de Nuages, Le Colostre and the Verdon
A hike between Gréoux-les-Bains and Saint-Martin-de-Brômes, starting in the mountains, continuing through the Colostre valley and returning via a small path along the Verdon.
Circuit along the Colostre
This walk near Gréoux-les-Bains allows you to discover a tributary of the Verdon, the Colostre, a charming little river that flows all year round in a small, fairly steep-sided valley. Also on the programme are an oppidum and the magnificent village of Saint-Martin-de-Brômes.
At the edge and on the heights of Lake Esparron
A family hike partly along the edge of Lake Esparron with many opportunities for swimming and picnicking. The second part of the hike is mostly in the woods with views of Lake Esparron. This hike is generally very shaded.
Lac d'Esparron and the "Salle à Manger" site
A circular eight-shaped loop starting from the village of Esparron-de-Verdon. A round trip takes you to the pretty site of the "Salle à Manger" in the lower Gorges du Verdon (access to water possible).
After starting on a small road, the route alternates between rocky paths and wide tracks.
There are some lovely views of the lake and glimpses of the plateaus of Provence and its lavender fields.

The hilltop village of Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier
Located on a hilltop at an altitude of 580 metres, overlooking the plain, the historic old village of Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier offers a superb panorama of the Durance valley, the Verdon mountains, the Montagne de Lure and, on a clear day, Mont Ventoux.
La Colle loop (Autour de la Colle), Esparron-de-Verdon
On this hike you will be rewarded with beautiful views into the village of Esparron-de-Verdon and across to the hills of the Verdon Canyon. Enjoy the flowers, butterflies and olive trees as well as an optional visit to see the village chateau and church.
A country loop starting from Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier
A beautiful and varied walk through the countryside, culminating in the medieval village of Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier (with its chapels, mills, church and 360° panorama of Provence).
Trou du Loup and Ravin de Bernadine, with return via La Bosse
An easy loop starting from Corbières, with the Torrent de Corbières gorges and the Trou du Loup. The start of the walk offers a glimpse of the gorge on a gently ascending path, with very cool spots and a wide variety of flora. The Ravin de Bernadine has the same atmosphere but with a torrent that is often dry. The climb to La Bosse and the descent on the way back take you through scrubland typical of the Luberon. A pleasant way to discover the hills and scrubland of the Luberon.
Le Trou du Loup via the cairn
This is a pleasant hike with a visit to the Chapelle Saint Brice, another to the cairn built here for the 20th anniversary of the Sainte Tulle Hiking Club, and finally the Trou du Loup reservoir.
Valensole plateau on the Asse side
The Valensole plateau enjoys exceptional light and unique colours that shine particularly brightly in summer: fields of lavender, clary sage, wheat, olive trees and sunflowers against a backdrop of blue mountains attract many photographers.
Moderator's note: route modified on 21/06/2023 at points 4 to 6 to avoid Monroc, which is private property and off-limits despite thePR® sign.
Gaude, the dovecote of Montaigu
A loop which poses no problems so can be undertaken with children to discover a dovecote which is still in a good state.

Wonderful hike through the Lower Verdon Gorges, starting in Quinson.

Above Volx
The village of Volx is known throughout Europe for its climbing guide, which has recently been redesigned and made safer.
At the start of the hike, you will see the climbing walls on your right.
At the end of the Capellane climb (it's steep), you will be rewarded with a beautiful view overlooking the village.
Then you will have a superb view of the Durance valley on your left.
Short circular Bellevue
This is a family hike that can be done with children.
On your left, you will have a permanent view of the Luberon, with Mont Ventoux as the focal point. Then you will see the Montagne de Lure. On the way back from the circular, you can also admire the peaks of the Alps.
La Roche Amère
This loop goes around a rock (La Roche Amère), which will be visible for much of the hike. A quarter of the way round, I suggest a detour to the Chapelle de la Roche. If you wish, continue past the chapel (not marked on the map) and follow the path that leads to the top of the rock (ruin), where you will have a beautiful view of the Durance valley.
In the forest at Saint-Martin-les-Eaux
If you enjoy walking in the forest, this hike is for you. You will encounter several species of pine trees, oaks and other service trees.
Much of this hike is in the shade, so you can enjoy this circular route in summer when the sun starts to heat up.
Boucle des Crêtes de Vautubière
Located between Sainte-Victoire and Luberon, the Montagne de Vautubiere offers beautiful views of the entire Provençal mountains (from the Southern Alps to Sainte-Baume).
You can also discover a pretty hidden agricultural valley. This walk combines superb views with the freshness of cultivated meadows surrounded by forests, offering a pleasant change of scenery.
