Hiking through the hidden sides of Sainte-Victoire

Accompanied by Laura, a hiking guide, explore the less-travelled trails on the north, south and east sides of this legendary mountain. We'll climb to places steeped in history, such as the Oppidum of Untinos, the Cézanne refuge, the hermitage of Saint-Ser and the ruins of Le Trou.

These hikes reveal an intimate and authentic side to Sainte-Victoire. Through tales of local heritage, interpreting the landscape and discovering Mediterranean flora, each outing unveils a new facet of this legendary mountain. We'll take several breaks along the way, giving you the chance to catch your breath, learn more about the history of the area and admire the stunning surrounding scenery.
