Hiking
with a guide, but why ?
The best routes
We live here and spend most of
our time hiking in the different Provence ranges. We know the place
and we have selected the best itineraries. We know where to find
warmth or shadow, the easy and hard paths and every possible
variation so we can take you discover the most beautiful places in a
minimum time !
Understanding the Landscape
How's that tree called ? Really ?
You can eat this flower ? That's our job to know about the natural
environment and historic heritage of the places we take you to. We'll
initiate you into the mysteries of the Provencial landscapes, into
smelling, tasting and identifying the flora. We'll tell you about
geology, human history, insects, birds... basically all you could be
curious about !
Sharing
We try to share the spirit of
the place, tell you the stories that made this place what it is now
and all the secrets one only hears through word of mouth.
Get everything done for you
Preparing a hike when you
don't know the place can be quite time consuming. We're here so you
can make the most of your time in the Calanques without any trouble.
You'll see how many people get lost there and ask us for their way.
Some manage with a map but they stay on the main paths... That's not
what we want for a hike!
Essentials
We take care of your security.
We'll take you to the best
places.
You can ask any question, we'll
try to answer.
We work in a responsible way
and minimise our impact on the ecosystems
And...
We are Moutain Guides because
we love sharing our passion for the places we work in!
