What a beautiful area: rocky valleys and rounded summits, beautiful old Provençal villages and clear fast flowing rivers. Already people are bronzing on the rocks and bathing in the water.
Spring burst upon us in April and each week sees new flowers blooming.
The vines are green and leafy and the cherries almost ripe.
And the very best thing about hiking in this region? The vultures!
In certain areas you only have to look up and there will be at least a couple of beautiful huge graceful Griffin vultures circling overhead.
Then of course there's also the biking - Mont Ventoux, the "Giant of Provence" is visible everytime you climb a hill so it's hard to ignore it. But here's more to biking here than that huge climb, good though it is. Small roads anbd passes abound and along the way you're sure to find a nice village café for a cold beer and a cake.
So watch this space for the dates for next spring, and of course for the 2012 Snowshoeing schedule.
