Trip Difficulty: Moderate
You enjoy regular exercise (whether walking, cycling, aerobics, etc.). You’re in good shape, used to regular and sustained exercise. You are keen to set off on all-day walks, and can handle walking uphill (slowly) for up to 2 hours at a time.
Walks are generally under 5 hours, on various types of terrain -- though nothing technically difficult -- with up to 600m/2000ft of hiking uphill per day
Some ups and downs on the island paths and the coast.

Warning
From Cassis to La Ciotat, there is always at least a meter between you and the cliff-edge, but please be very careful along the path. Wind gusts here can be very strong.
On the Sainte Victoire mountain walk: from the starting point, the walk looks daunting, going straight up along the spine of the mountain, with no respite until the top. But it is not as difficult as it looks. You’ll be climbing for over two hours, maybe three, but it’s all relatively steady. There are no cliff-edges, and only a very short section of scrambling to reach the cross at the pseudo-summit. You may choose to avoid that section if the weather isn’t cooperating, or if the winds are too strong.

Walking Poles
We recommend using walking poles for this holiday. Poles are helpful to increase power going uphill, but especially to relieve your knees going downhill. Walking poles take some time to get used to so we recommend that you walk with them before coming to Provence.
