It separates the Préalpes de Castellane from the Préalpes de Digne and offers an exceptional setting for anyone who loves nature, adventure and discovery.

On foot along the many footpaths, by bike or by car along the two roads, you can explore the Verdon Gorges and discover its unforgettable landscapes.

The right bank (from Castellane to Moustiers-Sainte-Marie) takes you along the Route des Crêtes where you can enjoy 14 view points offering stunning panoramas of the Verdon Gorges.
The left bank (from Aiguines to Trigance) to the south of the grand canyon, is wilder than the right bank. The views are also breathtaking.

From the water:
Known for its emerald waters, there is no better way to explore the Verdon Gorges than from the river, thanks to the array of activities offered: white-water rafting, river trekking, canyoning, river boarding and canoeing, among others. Endless thrills and spills await you!

With our partner Haute Provence Outdoor, who is present on the campsite, you can choose the ideal activity to set out and discover the Verdon from the water.
