Departure from the center of the village and the Riou bridge. A climb up to the plateau of Vénascle, under the Montdenier massif, and a way down by the magnificent path of Courchon... Vincel trail is an average distance hike with low difficulty : ideal to discover the "high lands" of Moustiers.

Shortly after crossing the Riou gate, take the direction of the hamlet of Vincel. After about 3 km of ascent in the underwood (most of the altitude difference is here), continue to follow the direction of Vincel and the yellow markings until you reach a road and Montdenier campsite.
Take the direction of the hamlet of Vénascle by staying on the road for about 1km. Leave the road and follow « Pierrefeu », it will lead to the descent to the village.
The last portion of the itinerary via « Chemin de Courchon » represents a dozen of bends with astonishing views of the Sainte-Croix lake on one side and on certain parts of the village on the other!
⚠️ Warning : the high lands portions are mostly "open". We strongly advised against doing this itinerary in the middle of the day during the summer season..
