Presentation

Accompanied by Laura, a qualified 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 walks reveal an intimate and authentic side to Sainte-Victoire. Through tales of local heritage, interpreting the landscape and discovering the Mediterranean flora, each outing unveils a new facet of this legendary mountain. Several breaks punctuate our route, offering the chance to catch your breath, learn more about the history of the area and admire the stunning surrounding scenery.
