GRADINGS:
The holidays are graded easy/Moderate/Difficult
for walkers:
Easy holidays
involve 3 to 5 hrs walks with moderate ascents.
Moderate
walks are slightly longer but with ascents of up to 2000ft on rougher tracks.
Difficult
walks involve 5 to 8 hrs walks with ascents and descents occasionally
of 2 to 3000ft.
All the holidays are within the capabilities
of the average hill walker and age is NOT a problem. A 74yr gentleman
did the Tour of Mont Blanc with me in 2000.
ACCOMMODATION
We have a comfortable, centrally heated guesthouse
close to the village of Vinsobres,
about 8km from Nyons. We provide both gite apartment and guesthouse
type accommodation. The villa has a pool and the setting is one
of lavender fields and vineyards. The hotels we use are all family
run with ensuite bedrooms and excellent restaurants. They are normally
2 to 3 star and are highly recommended by past clients.
MEALS
Most of the time we arrange suppers in our local restaurants as
the food is so good. Final details of meals are provided with the
detailed instructions available for each holiday. Breakfasts are
continental .. Wine is provided
with all our own meals but not in restaurants.
