Chaîne des Côtes from Lambesc
A 2½-hour circular walk above Lambesc. A steady climb through the woods, then along the ridge of the Côtes mountain range, with superb 360° views of the Étang de Berre, the Alpilles, Mont Ventoux, the Luberon, the Alpes du Verdon and Sainte Victoire. Return via the plateau of the hamlet of Janet through vineyards along farm tracks.

Ridges of the Plateau de Sèze and Mont Trésor in the Côtes massif
This route is quite challenging as it passes over several ridges of Mont Trésor and the heights of the Plateau de Séze. The slopes are sometimes quite rugged. This area is wild and very quiet, but it offers views over the Durance valley to the Alpilles and the southern mountains of the department.
Please note: the elevation gain is closer to 520 metres.

Walking loop starting from Cadenet. Pass through the paths and vineyards of Cadenet, then visit the narrow streets of Lourmarin and continue on to the château. Return via the Château de Cadenet.

A lovely walk through the vineyards (and poppies if it's the right season), starting in Rognes, going to the start of the "ridges" and then returning via the Chapelle Saint-Marcelin.
Roquefraiche to Lauris
A pleasant little hike offering breathtaking views of the Luberon landscape.
Cap de Serre from Lourmarin
This is a beautiful walk that offers stunning views of the Luberon from the Durance to Mont Ventoux.
Vallon du Dégoutau - Rochers des Onze Heures
A very wild hike on the southern slope of the Petit Luberon.
The lack of signposting and paths on certain parts of the circuit means that access is restricted to experienced hikers.
The southern slope of Le Petit Luberon
On the southern slope of Le Petit Luberon, this trail is for experienced hikers due to two steep rises and randomly waymarked trails.

This is an easy 16km circuit for a walk in the forest in the Pays d'Aix south of Saint-Cannat, a charming Provençal village located in a plain and surrounded by wooded areas.
The Crête du Grand Luberon ridge from Vaugines
This is one of my favourite hikes in the Grand Luberon, and you can easily vary the route along the summit. This hike takes you to the summit through several valleys, offering superb views in places. The descent on the oldGR®®9trail is just as interesting for its many views. (TheGR®®9route has now changed slightly.)
