Walking holidays in Provence

Embark on a non-group, self-guided walking holiday in Provence, walking from one charming hotel to the next while your luggage is transported, or exploring from a single base. We provide you with our concise but informative route notes, leaving you free to walk at your own pace.

Walking holidays in Provence –

enchanting scenery & pretty villages

The very name ‘Provence’ conjures up images of medieval villages, colourful markets and sun-drenched landscapes that have inspired countless artists. Our walking holidays in Provence promise all this and more. In the true spirit of a Slow holiday, stop as frequently as you like to take it all in – you’re not part of a group, and have no luggage to carry (we take care of your bags, along with providing route notes and all the other arrangements), so there’s no rush…

Where to go walking in Provence

Among Inntravel’s walking holidays in Provence is a week’s exploration from a charming hotel near Mont Ventoux; hotel-to-hotel walking through the distinctive landscapes of the Luberon; a mix of walking and sightseeing on the Côte d’Azur; a short break in the hills behind the French Riviera; and our shamelessly gastronomic holiday near the iconic Pont du Gard aqueduct.

Which walking holiday in Provence is right for you?

For easy or easy-to-moderate routes, we recommend our walking holidays along the Côte d’Azur or to the Pont du Gard. The landscapes of the Luberon are more undulating, so feature more ascents and descents.

Grade 1

Generally easy walking with few ascents / descents, but perhaps the occasional long day.
Grade 1-2
