Hike #14: Versant nord St Victoire; Citadelle Leaders: Sharon, Chris Date: January 18th , 2022 |
Cette jolie randonnée au départ du Col des Portes, sur le versant nord de la Sainte Victoire, nous mènera jusqu'à la Citadelle (fort de l'âge du fer construit 2 ou 3 siècles avant JC). De là, nous continuerons notre randonnée sur principalement de grands chemins où nous profiterons de vues panoramiques s'étendant au-delà du Luberon jusqu'à la montagne de Lure, le Mont Ventoux et à l'horizon les sommets enneigés des Alpes du Sud. Nous profiterons de notre pique-nique et de la célébration de l'Epiphanie avec les Galettes de Roi et Vin Chaud au hameau en ruines de Lambuisse avant de retourner au Col Des Portes
This pretty hike starting at the Col Des Portes on the north side of the Sainte Victoire takes us up to the Citadelle (an Iron Age fort built 2 or 3 centuries BC). From there we will continue our hike on mainly large paths where we will enjoy panoramic views stretching beyond the Luberon to the Lure, Mont Ventoux and on the horizon the snow-covered peaks of the southern Alps. We will enjoy our picnic and Epiphany celebration with the Galettes de Roi and Vin Chaud at the ruined hamlet of Lambuisse before returning to the Col Des Portes
Lunch: Picnic plus Galette des Roi and Vin Chaud to share (lunch time will be longer than usual) Dogs: Ok (with leads). Difficulty: 5 Length: 4 hours + lunch + galette/vin chaud Driving Directions: See below
Meeting point: Directly at the start of the hike at 10 am
Directions: From Aix-en-Provence take the D10 direction Vauvenargues. A few kilometres after Vauvenargues, when the road forks, stay right on the D10 towards the Col des Portes. The road climbs steadily over the Col des Claps and then up to the Col des Portes. After the Col you will find a large car park on the left-hand side of the road “parking Col des Portes” near the information boards. (It is the first car park on the left after you pass the Col). Park here.
