Verdon Gorges Hiking: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

A must-do-hike is the Sentier Blanc Martel trail which is around 14 km long. It will take you around 7 hours in total and gives you great views of the gorge and surrounding mountains. It’s said to be one of the best trails in Europe. The La Palud Sur Verdon is another exceptional place to hike thanks to the changing colors of nature year round. Hiking around the  Sainte Croix Lake is also a great option.

Verdon Natural Regional Park

The national park is also a national treasure with stunning natural beauty around every corner. Visit the impossibly blue Sainte Croix Lake, the picture-perfect lavender fields of the Valensole plateau and of course the spectacular Verdon Gorge.

The medieval towns of Castellane, Moustiers Sainte-Marie and the ancient Roman town, Gréoux-les-Bains are fascinating places to visit and full of charm. There you’ll be able to sample local food and wine, learn about the history of the region and practice your french.
