Itinerary

Walking in Haute Provence delivers a week of striking contrasts, inviting experienced and senior travelers to explore both the Southern Alps and the sun-drenched valleys of Provence. This 8-day self-guided trip follows the GR4 trail from St Andre-les-Alpes to Provence, blending rugged gorges, lavender fields, and ancient Roman routes. Highlights include a dramatic traverse of the Gorges du Verdon, visits to Moustiers and the lively market town of Aix en Provence, and strolls through fields of truffle oaks and wildflowers. The unique selling point is the seamless transition from Alpine grandeur to Provencal charm, offering a rich tapestry of landscapes and cultural experiences.
