There are detailed “TOP 25” maps of these walks available and it is a good idea to have these to hand. Before setting off, remember to wear appropriate hiking clothes and take rain gear and wind just in case, plus sufficient water and food for your walk. Don’t hike alone and be sure to let someone know when you are leaving and the expected length of your walk. You will need good hiking boots. And follow the rule of respect for nature and for your fellow walkers. ORGANISING YOUR HIKE The department of Vaucluse has developed and organized system for hiking and walking paths (the PDIPR), which covers over 130 of the 151 towns in the region. In order to effect this ambitious plan, the Vaucluse General Council has identified and marked the paths suitable for hiking, riding and 24 mountainbiking, and has established over 5,000 kilometres of these trails. People are clearly out and about in the Vaucluse! Since 1999, the General Council has taken a new direction in setting up the HIKING TOURING NETWORK. The purpose of the PDIPR is to protect the trails and paths from development, whether public or private. The Touring Network is a service provided for its users. It offers paths through public land which are maintained and well marked, open to hikers, bikers and horseback riders. The trails are marked according to the method approved by the FFRP (The French Hiking Federation). This system of marking makes it easy to follow the path without getting lost. There is a signpost at each intersection along the network indicating directions. This network is constantly being improved. The network covers the main hill regions of the Vaucluse, the preferred destinations for these outdoor activities. • • • • • • • The Dentelles de Montmirail The Mont-Ventoux Sault and Albion plateau The Monts de Vaucluse The Luberon Range The papal enclave The massif d’Uchaux Marking on hiking paths straight on change in direction wrong direction All the intersections along the network are signposted with a name and the altitude. Yellow arrows show the names of the next intersections, and their distances (in kilometres). Further distances are also shown, for these may be your goal, or they can help orient you. { Please note: If sign-posts are missing, please inform the environmental service at the Vaucluse General Council and provide them with the name of the signpost and arrows which are remaining. T. +33 (0)4 90 16 15 00 [email protected] { This touring network is for every kind of non-motorised path user – hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders. It is made up of: • “Grande randonnée” (GR) paths, which are marked with a red and white stripe • Local “grande randonnée” paths (PR), marked with a red and yellow stripe • Bridle trails, marked with an orange dot • Other paths, marked with a yellow line The tourist hiking network in the Vaucluse is arrowed and marked to facilitate location. It is advisable nonetheless to use TOP25 1:25,000 IGN maps.

The quality, variety, and the range of challenges, the secure equipment and the good climate, conducive to climbing all year long, all make the Vaucluse a preferred destination for lovers of this vertical sport. In the heart of the Luberon, the site of Buoux is known the world over, and well-appreciated by climbers. The Dentelles de Montmirail range, the “quatre saisons” site, has been climbed since the 1940’s.
