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.)
La Tour Sarrasine, Le Clapis and Le Rocher du Midi from the village
Magnificent panoramic views, immersion in the Dentelles and discovery of the Clapis mountain range via a route with no particular difficulty. The route follows forest tracks and paths, often in the shade of pine and oak trees. The return via the upper part of the village provides an opportunity to discover the remains of some interesting fortifications.

From Bédoin to Mont Ventoux
Bédoin - Mont Ventoux is a legendary stage of the Tour de France cycling race. This hike provides more direct access to the summit, via paths that follow the ridges and valleys of the mountain's southern slope. At the beginning, the paths run through pretty woodland, which is magnificent in autumn. Towards the end, the paths cross the rocky landscape of light-coloured stones at the summit of the mountain. Along the way, you will come across "jas", mountain sheepfolds built from dry stone walls.
