A day hike (approx. 12 miles) or 3-day hiking tour (approx. 6 miles per day), depending on how athletic you are. Discover the Uchaux massif, its vineyards and vegetation, always with the “Giant of Provence” as your backdrop.
The route explores the Uchaux massif in all its diversity: comprised of different geological strata, each has its own particular vegetation. This hike takes you to the heart of an amazing massif, with a multitude of landscapes to see: from vines planted in terraces to unbroken views of the Rhône plain, with Mont Ventoux always towering in the background.
