ADD AN EXTRA LOOP WALK to the crest of Luberon

  • WALK : 4 hours 30 - 12km - +500m / -500m
  • We recommend an extra night in either Buoux or Bonnieux to enjoy an extra walk to the crest of the Luberon above the wild Aiguebrun valley. 
  • From Buoux, you climb out of the valley and pass open fields and ancient terrace walls on your way to the hidden cobbled street village of Sivergues. You continue ascending through the Mediterranean brush and you reach the very crest of the Luberon, a rounded summit laden with a carpet of thyme. From here the views can extend all the way to the Alps and to the Med Sea. Descending back to the Auberge, you can take a detour to visit the 3000 year-old Buoux Fort, sitting above a rocky crag with sheer cliffs and awe-inspiring views.
  • Contact us for further details
  • Have an extra night in Bonnieux, one of the most beautiful villages in France, and add this beautiful extra walk in the remote Luberon mountains
  • WALK : 4 hours - 11.5km / 6.8 miles - Ascent +300m / Descent -500m
  • You begin by a leisurely stroll, mostly level, on farming tracks behind Bonnieux. You then climb steadily but easily towards the crest of the Luberon where you are met by majestic views of the plains. You remain atop the crest on an undulating track before a short but very steep climb towards a rounded summit: from here you embark on a long descend down the south face towards Lourmarin.
    Transfer back to Bonnieux at the end of the day
