Treks
Alpes de Haute-Provence

—  magnificent scenery and a great atmosphere

—  A very beautiful and varied route set in an enchanting landscape, often with the Meije massif in the background—it's superb

—  A guide who knows the subject inside and out and is a good listener. Excellent group management, with alternative routes planned whether there are any hiccups or not—that’s really appreciated.

—  A lovely loop with a particular favorite being the St. Véran–Chianale leg; we loved the stopover inns (Les Gabelous, L’Ancolie Bleue, Pramourel) for their warm atmosphere, great food, and very comfortable rooms. We weren’t as fond of the picnics (from the hotels) with cheeses that weren’t regional at all (Brie) and were pre-packaged in plastic—it’s a shame in a region like this. Overall, as far as the hiking goes, there were too many downhill sections; we didn’t love having to walk downhill so much every evening. Something to think about for next time.
