Hiking in Provence and Camargue. 7-day trip w/ a UIMLA certified mountain guide
7 Days
Jun - Sep
Stay star-shaped, 7 days with 5,5 walking and sightseeing days. The daily tours start from your accommodation located in Crau.
At the heart of an exceptional cultural heritage, I invite you to discover the Provence environment. Colors, scents, sun, represent all the southern charm whose lands have fascinated so many great men, writers and artists.
Flora, fauna, attractive hilltop villages, culture, light and Mediterranean landscapes will charm you through an unforgettable stay.
Every evening, your host will reward your efforts by offering a clever insight into the remarkable and tasty local cuisine and its rare flavours. Then, quality accommodation will offer a restful welcome.
Here is the program I usually offer, it may of course be adapted according to your desires and the time you have.
Day 1: Welcome on Sunday afternoon at Arles, transfer across a discovery touristic itinerary and getting settled at the accommodation site.
Day 2: from the highest point of the Alpilles (Opies), gaze in all directions and out of sight, the majestic setting of your stay.
Day 3: oaks, pine forests, cedar forests, scrub lands, grasslands apical and cultural heritage, you will enjoy this day in the heart of the Lubéron Regional Park.
Day 4: The road to the Camargue and its rice fields, Camargue horses, flamingos… visit and walk around a bird park, Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, pond Vaccarès… then return through Baux de Provence.
Day 5: the imposing limestone massif of Sainte-Victoire, arid and colorful in the South, wooded in the north, is another wonder site with a view on the marvelous Aixon country.
Day 6: The daily trek will borrow the picturesque Régalon gorges, dug into the south side of the Petit Luberon, one of the most spectacular canyons of the region.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
