Mount Luberon

Reconnect with Nature

Located a few kilometers from Domaine de Fontenille, the Montagne du Luberon overlooks Durance Valley with its wooded ridges, limestone cliffs, and deep forests. Classified as a Regional Natural Park, this massif stretches nearly 60 kilometers from east to west and forms a natural barrier between the South Luberon and the North Vaucluse. Each season, Mont Luberon offers a diversity of striking landscapes: green oak forests, fragrant garrigue shrublands, olive groves, and panoramic views of Sainte-Victoire or the Alps.

A paradise for hikers and nature lovers

With more than 300 km of marked trails, Mont Luberon is a must-see destination for Hikes in Provence. Among the most popular routes are the ascent to Mourre Nègre, the highest point of the massif at 1,125 meters above sea level, or the Cedar Forest of Bonnieux, which offers a shady and spectacular walk. These walks are accessible to all levels and are ideal for discovering Mediterranean flora and fauna in a preserved environment.

Protected natural and cultural heritage

Beyond its ecological richness, Mont Luberon is home to a remarkable rural heritage: bories (dry stone huts), dry stone walls, old mills, isolated chapels... Every path crossed tells a story. The Natural Park ensures the preservation of this secret and authentic Provence, where silence, wide-open spaces, and agricultural traditions blend together.

Perched villages accessible by bike or car from Fontenille, such as Buoux, Apt, or Sivergues serve as gateways to this wild territory.
