Malaucène walks

A beautiful circuit that starts in Malaucène, at the foot of the Ventoux, and takes you around the magnificent Château du Barroux.

A beautiful circuit which, starting from the Malaucène paper mill, takes you up to the Chapelle de Piaud and then on to the combes of Grand Barbeirol, Brame Fam and Comentige. Finally, you reach a disused gypsum quarry, the spring and Notre Dame du Groseau.

A tour of the north-western foothills of Mont Ventoux to discover three chapels and the Groseau spring.

Discover an interesting heritage with chapels scattered throughout the mountains and the many hamlets that make up Beaumont-du-Ventoux. Not to mention the ancient Roman quarry.

This circuit takes you to two peaks nestled behind Mont Ventoux, as well as Roman quarries that were used to supply building materials for Vaison-la-Romaine.

Starting from Sainte-Madeleine Abbey at Barroux, this is quite a wild route offering many views over Mont Ventoux, the Dentelles de Montmirail and the surrounding plains.

A beautiful walk among the pine trees and wild olive trees around Lac du Paty. Moderator's warning on 06/04/2021: GPS or Visorando app useful for this hike; see comments at the bottom of this page

This is a very beautiful hike that will allow you to admire the Vaisonnais region as far as Montélimar to the north, the Dentelles de Montmirail and Saint-Amand to the south. And also, the giant Ventoux, ever-present.

A very beautiful loop off the beaten track that allows you to climb a peak and ridges on the western side of Mont Ventoux via some very pleasant and fairly wild passages offering beautiful views!

A very beautiful hike, strangely little known, offering sumptuous views of the Ventoux massif and the Dentelles de Montmirail.

Circular route around the western part of Mont Ventoux with an ascent via Combe Obscure, Combe du Grand Barbeirol and Combe Brame-Fam, then descend towards Tête du Gros Charme and its unobstructed views.

Located north-west of Mont Ventoux, in the Ouvèze plain, the village of Entrechaux is dominated by its castle, perched on top of a hill. Let's climb this hill! The view from the castle is extraordinary, and it's no coincidence!

A family hike offering beautiful caves on the way up and a stunning view of the Comtat Venaissin on the way down.

A beautiful walk through the woods below Saint-Maurice to the start of the Saint-Amand ridge. Moderator's addition on 13 March 2021: GPS useful for this hike, see reviews.

A moderately difficult, well-shaded circular route from the Ventoux vineyards to the Malaucène National Forest, with views of the Dentelles de Montmirail and the Bédoin ochre quarry. The hike was modified at the end of May 2021 to avoid crossing private property.

A short, easy hike starting from Bédoin. A long walk under the pine trees amid the old ochre quarries, revealing shades of red, orange and yellow.
