Hiking in Provence

A Provence walking holiday evokes colourful images of blue skies, yellow sun flowers, silvery-green olive trees, purple lavender and green vineyards. Hiking in Provence suggests wine and olive oil tasting, lingering over a glass or two on a shaded terrace, sampling the local cuisine and lounging by the hotel pool, soaking up the sun after a day on the trail.

Why discover Provence on foot?

A Provence walking tour is a great way to discover this beautiful part of France. Our trails will lead you off the beaten track, along country lanes and through fields, up to the perched medieval villages in time for lunch and back down through the vineyards and olive groves. Walking in Provence offers a diverse landscape, from the Alpilles mountains, to the rolling hills of the Lubéron, the jagged ridges of the Dentelles mountain range and the unspoiled back country of the Côte d’Azur.

Here at Intura, we create all of our trips. Our team of track finders heads out on the trails to find the best paths and routes for the itineraries. Hiking in Provence with Intura is an authentic experience. We know Provence like the back of our hand, from the hilltop villages of the Lubéron, to the gorgeous lavender fields, the nooks and crannies of the landscapes of the Alpilles that inspired Vincent van Gogh, to the infamous vineyards and wine making villages.

We handpick our service providers and have been working with many taxi drivers and guest house owners for over 15 years. We know good quality when we see it! We offer a range of accommodation, from standard 2* to luxurious 4* or even 5*. The accommodation choice is based on our core values: authenticity, quality and charm. When possible, we favour the small family-run guest house over the chain hotel, the quirky hotel over the more modern-day décor.
