Apart from a few sections of trails, the various climb and downhill trails can be very steep, stony and technical (100 m of pushing at 5,5 km).

Not to be missed: the panoramic view from Le Portalas and Peyrafio, the cedar forest, the charm of the alleys of Bonnieux, the sweetness of life of Lauris. Not to mention, his supports in the descent from the Philippe Tower and its trajectory in the beautiful descent on the Seyes valley...

Caution:

presence of herd protection dogs in the spring on the ridges.
control its speed downhill well; you are not alone on these trails!

Variant: this route is also done very well starting from Bonnieux.

Important: during the summer period, from 15 June to 15 September access to the forest ranges of Vaucluse is regulated, please contact the referring authorities.
