OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
The trip starts in Avignon, a UNESCO Heritage-listed site, and finishes in the medieval town of Vaison la Romaine. The superb walking track together with the most famous and picturesque wineries in the region create one of France’s best walking experiences.
Start by exploring Chateauneuf du Pape, southern France’s most prestigious wine village (once home to the Pope). Continue on from Séguret to Gigondas, two medieval villages perched high over the Rhone valley, framed by a never-ending swathe of vineyards. The walk continues from village to village via Vacqueyras, Le Barroux, and Malaucène, ending in Vaison la Romaine. Enjoy the pleasure of discovering wonderful vineyards on foot (not to mention all the archaeological and scenic treasures); vineyards that the same families have run for generations – and, naturally, lots of wine-tasting opportunities along the way!
The last two days of remote walking at Mount Ventoux are well worth the effort, providing a unique perspective to this journey, with absolutely stunning views and an unparalleled diversity of flora.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Exploring the lovely Chateauneuf du Pape, with optional half-day wine tour (at extra cost)
- Stroll along beautiful farming tracks between wineries
- Wine tasting at Chateau Vaudieu, Nalys and Solitude
- Séguret, one of France’s most beautiful villages

ITINERARY
DAY one
AVIGNON AND TRANSFER TO CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE
Avignon is a UNESCO World Heritage site a beautiful medieval town, with lots of cobbled streets and full of history with its famous Pope’s Palace and St Benezet bridge. The walk starts with a 4.30 pm transfer from Avignon to Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
The literal translation of Châteauneuf du Pape is the “New Castle of the Pope”, as this village was chosen as the summer residence of the Popes of Avignon, complete with its’ own castle built atop the mount. Today what remains is a set of ruins and a great vantage point for superb views far out to the horizon. It was the popes who brought the vines here in the 14th century, making wines that have been famous for centuries adding another element to the religiosity of this wine-growing region and the walk.
Walking: Easy 1 – 5 km
Meals: Dinner
Accommodation: The Wine B&B in Chateauneuf-du-Pape
DAY two
CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE
In the morning you walk through the vines, alongside tracks packed with the red rocks that were deposited here 15 000 years ago, at the end of the last ice age. They absorb the heat during the day and emit it at night, keeping a constant warmth in the vineyards, and helping produce powerful and spicy reds. The full loop option passes by the famous estate of Château Mont Redon.
In the afternoon you will have some free time in the lovely Chateauneuf du Pape village, to wander from one wine shop to the next all the way to the castle OR enjoy a half-day wine tour with a local wine expert (3h) Our wine specialist will unveil all the secrets of these vines, taking you on a tour and leading you through a wine-tasting session. You’ll learn the concepts of terroir and appellation while perfecting your wine tasting technique. Night in Chateauneuf, dinner on your own.
Walking: Moderate / 14 km / 5 hrs
Elevation: +150 / -150M
Meals: Breakfast
Accommodation: The Wine B&B in Chateauneuf-du-Pape
DAY three
CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE AND EXPLORE THE WINERIES
Today we walk a circuitous track through the historic vineyards. With such a prized ‘terroir’ every square meter is planted with vines, seemingly gnarled hands reaching up from underneath the earth, proudly displaying bunches of Grenache and Syrah. Staying within the heart of the Châteauneuf appellation, we take a stroll on farming tracks in between the parcels of vines, which lead from one estate to the next. We walk to 3 widely-known wine estates – Chateau Vaudieu, Nalys & Solitude, all of them centuries-old and all happy to share their savoir-faire with you during a wine tasting. The reds are deep and heavily spiced, while the surprising whites have notes of almond, spice, and honeysuckle. We recommend the full loop option that passes by the famous estate of Château Mont-Redon. There is an afternoon transfer to Seguret.
Walking: Easy to moderate / 7 km / 4.5 hrs
Elevation: +100 / -100m

The route takes you down into Beaumes de Venise, where you can indulge in a glass of Muscat. Today’s walk ends in Le Barroux, a hilltop village crowned by its 12th-century castle and quiet streets, which is off the beaten track even for a walking holiday.

Elevation: +420m / -250m

DAY six
LE BARROUX TO MALAUCENE
The approach to Mont Ventoux is stunning, the giant silhouette of the mountain acts as the perfect backdrop for today’s hike with its’ barren white peak glistening in the sun. At 1912m in altitude, Mont Ventoux is Provence’s highest peak. Its remarkable silhouette paint the backdrop of this scenic and diverse exploration of Provence. The path takes you through shaded paths of pine and cedar you reach the chapel of Piaut, where in generations past locals climbed during periods of draught to pray for rain. Descend the pilgrimage path to Malaucène.
There’s also an option to another loop walk from Malaucène. The route starts at Malaucène at the foot of Ventoux and climbs 700m in altitude to the “ski resort” of Mont Serein.

Elevation: +500m / -500m or +950m / -950m

Accommodation: Hotel Domaine des Tilleuls in Malaucène
DAY seven
MALAUCENE UP TO MONT SEREIN OPTIONS
For those Tour de France enthusiasts, the Mount Ventoux section is deemed to be the hardest stage of the tour. What’s beautiful about these two walks is the startling contrast to our earlier walking days and the sheer diversity of flora. You’ll move from Mediterranean vegetation to arctic flowers in just 2 days of walking, and experience every level of vegetation in between: from thyme to arctic poppies, from vines to mountain pine, from wall lizard to chamois (wild mountain goats). You’ll be along seldom used paths, and have an authentic chalet experience in Provence, cool mountain air and superlative scenery.
There are two options today.
The moderate walk option takes you from Mont Serein balcony up to Mont Serein. If you choose the easier of the day’s walks, a transfer takes you halfway up the mountain.
The challenging walk option takes you from Malaucène all the way up to the summit of Mont Serein. The walk takes you through the densely forested northern slopes, far from the crowds. Your views extend far into the Barronies mountains to the north, over the many vineyards you’ve explored and to the dozens of villages that dot the countryside. Catch your breath here before a steep climb to Ventoux’s ski resort, Mont Serein, at 1400m in altitude. Settle into your chalet for two nights.

DAY eight
MONT SEREIN TO MOUNT VENTOUX TO MONT SEREIN
There are 2 walks today out of your accommodation in Mount Serein one returning via a slightly easier path. You quickly trade fir and beech for larch as the walks meander up above the ski resort. As you go a little higher only sparse mountain pine remains, and finally nothing at all other than the echo of your feet walking on the scree towards the summit.
Once at the top you have a 360° view, the Alps to the north and the plains of the Rhône to the south, the Rhône River snaking its way down to the Med Sea. Once you’ve soaked up the ambience of the summit you head eastward along the barren ridge. The upper ridge is carpeted with sparse bunches of arctic flowers, including the arctic poppy, that grows only on the Spitzberg islands just shy of the North Pole and on Mont Ventoux.
After about 1 hour on the ridge, you have a choice of walks, but both return to Mont Serein with beautiful views all the way.

GENERAL INFO
WALKING
The walk is moderate with only some small ascents unless you add the Mont Ventoux walks then there are some reasonably big ascents. Full-day walks average about 14 km with 5 to 6 hours walking each day. There is plenty of opportunities to add more or even reduce the walking if you wish.

WEATHER
From March the temperature begins to rise so be prepared for warmer days if you walk in summer. Shoulder season is by far the best time as the weather is perfect for walking and the added advantage of having fewer people around in the villages and on the coast (we walk away from the populated areas on the walk so crowds are not an issue.) In March, April and October there is a chance of snow on Mount Ventoux.

CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE AND EXPLORE THE WINERIES
Today we walk a circuitous track through the historic vineyards. With such a prized ‘terroir’ every square meter is planted with vines, seemingly gnarled hands reaching up from underneath the earth, proudly displaying bunches of Grenache and Syrah. Staying within the heart of the Châteauneuf appellation, we take a stroll on farming tracks in between the parcels of vines, which lead from one estate to the next. We walk to 3 widely-known wine estates – Chateau Vaudieu, Nalys & Solitude, all of them centuries-old and all happy to share their savoir-faire with you during a wine tasting. The reds are deep and heavily spiced, while the surprising whites have notes of almond, spice, and honeysuckle. We recommend the full loop option that passes by the famous estate of Château Mont-Redon. There is an afternoon transfer to Seguret.

The route takes you down into Beaumes de Venise, where you can indulge in a glass of Muscat. Today’s walk ends in Le Barroux, a hilltop village crowned by its 12th-century castle and quiet streets, which is off the beaten track even for a walking holiday.

DAY six
LE BARROUX TO MALAUCENE
The approach to Mont Ventoux is stunning, the giant silhouette of the mountain acts as the perfect backdrop for today’s hike with its’ barren white peak glistening in the sun. At 1912m in altitude, Mont Ventoux is Provence’s highest peak. Its remarkable silhouette paint the backdrop of this scenic and diverse exploration of Provence. The path takes you through shaded paths of pine and cedar you reach the chapel of Piaut, where in generations past locals climbed during periods of draught to pray for rain. Descend the pilgrimage path to Malaucène.
There’s also an option to another loop walk from Malaucène. The route starts at Malaucène at the foot of Ventoux and climbs 700m in altitude to the “ski resort” of Mont Serein.

DAY seven
MALAUCENE UP TO MONT SEREIN OPTIONS
For those Tour de France enthusiasts, the Mount Ventoux section is deemed to be the hardest stage of the tour. What’s beautiful about these two walks is the startling contrast to our earlier walking days and the sheer diversity of flora. You’ll move from Mediterranean vegetation to arctic flowers in just 2 days of walking, and experience every level of vegetation in between: from thyme to arctic poppies, from vines to mountain pine, from wall lizard to chamois (wild mountain goats). You’ll be along seldom used paths, and have an authentic chalet experience in Provence, cool mountain air and superlative scenery.
There are two options today.
The moderate walk option takes you from Mont Serein balcony up to Mont Serein. If you choose the easier of the day’s walks, a transfer takes you halfway up the mountain.
The challenging walk option takes you from Malaucène all the way up to the summit of Mont Serein. The walk takes you through the densely forested northern slopes, far from the crowds. Your views extend far into the Barronies mountains to the north, over the many vineyards you’ve explored and to the dozens of villages that dot the countryside. Catch your breath here before a steep climb to Ventoux’s ski resort, Mont Serein, at 1400m in altitude. Settle into your chalet for two nights.

DAY eight
MONT SEREIN TO MOUNT VENTOUX TO MONT SEREIN
There are 2 walks today out of your accommodation in Mount Serein one returning via a slightly easier path. You quickly trade fir and beech for larch as the walks meander up above the ski resort. As you go a little higher only sparse mountain pine remains, and finally nothing at all other than the echo of your feet walking on the scree towards the summit.
Once at the top you have a 360° view, the Alps to the north and the plains of the Rhône to the south, the Rhône River snaking its way down to the Med Sea. Once you’ve soaked up the ambience of the summit you head eastward along the barren ridge. The upper ridge is carpeted with sparse bunches of arctic flowers, including the arctic poppy, that grows only on the Spitzberg islands just shy of the North Pole and on Mont Ventoux.
After about 1 hour on the ridge, you have a choice of walks, but both return to Mont Serein with beautiful views all the way.

General Info
WALKING
The walk is moderate with only some small ascents unless you add the Mont Ventoux walks then there are some reasonably big ascents. Full-day walks average about 14 km with 5 to 6 hours walking each day. There is plenty of opportunities to add more or even reduce the walking if you wish. The walking is over well maintained sometimes ancient paths via the most scenic route possible.
This is a beautiful area with many fabulous historic attractions in addition to the fabulous wineries. We highly recommend that you incorporate some extra time after the walk to rest but also to fully immerse yourself in Provence and the Cote d’Azur (the French Riviera).
For what to bring please refer to our Gear Advice section on our FAQ section.

WEATHER
From March the temperature begins to rise so be prepared for warmer days if you walk in summer. Shoulder season is by far the best time as the weather is perfect for walking and the added advantage of having fewer people around in the villages and on the coast (we walk away from the populated areas on the walk so crowds are not an issue.) In March, April and October there is a chance of snow on Mount Ventoux.
See the weather average temperatures and rainfall at different times of the year.
INSURANCE
We require that you have adequate travel insurance against potential losses, damage or injury, including cancellation costs and loss of luggage.
