ORGANISING YOUR HIKE
The department of Vaucluse has developed an organised system for hiking and walking paths (the PDIPR), which covers over 130 of the 150 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 mountain biking, 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.
From Spring 2007, the network covers the main hill regions of the Vaucluse, the preferred
destinations for these outdoor activities.
• THE DENTELLES DE MONTMIRAIL
• MONT VENTOUX
• THE SAULT AND ALBION PLATEAU
• THE MONTS DE VAUCLUSE
• THE LUBERON RANGE
