Mont Gaussier / Sentier des échelles walks

Pleasant walk in the Alpilles with magnificent panoramic views in places

This circuit requires attention and caution. You should not be prone to vertigo and should avoid wet weather and strong Mistral winds. If these conditions are met, you can use the fully renovated ladders and a few small secure ledges (handrails). A splendid panorama of the Alpilles, the Luberon, the Ventoux and the surrounding plains will reward you for your efforts.

The southern slope of the Caume Plateau is very suitable for winter hiking. This slope benefits from late sunshine and provides protection from the rather cold mistral wind after walking along part of the ridges coming from the Montagne des Deux Trous. (Please note) This route passes through the perimeter of the prefectural decree protecting the Caume biotope.

Randonnée qui passe par trois étapes essentielles qui sont le Mont Gaussier, le Rocher des Deux Trous et le Lac de Peirou.
