Day trip info

• This is a FIXED rate, from 1 to 4 participants maximum with 1 private guide

The walk

• The walk is 12 km long in total, and you can expect up to 4 hours of walking time along the trails. 
• The paths are well-worn but rocky: you can choose to wear walking boots but trail runners are sufficient if you're used to walking on uneven surfaces. You can expect a sustained climb from the village of Gigondas and up to the Dentelles ridges (up to two hours of climbing). The path does not approach the cliff edge. There are a few steps along the ridges where you may need to use your hands for balance (light scrambling).
