The Verdon Regional Nature Park

The Verdon Regional Nature Park

We are fortunate to be in the Verdon Regional Nature Park, where wild landscapes and protected flora and fauna make it a truly unique place. Whitewater activities are regulated to preserve the biodiversity of these aquatic environments and to ensure that the various activities on the Verdon—such as fishing and whitewater sports—coexist harmoniously.

The right thing to do: I’m checking out the advice from the park’s Ecogardes.


The activities

To take part in whitewater activities, you need to be able to swim, pets are not allowed and reservations are made directly with the whitewater companies. Don’t hesitate to contact them, they’ll be delighted to help.

The right thing to do: I’m aware of my physical condition and ask for advice on the whitewater activity best suited to my level.


The dam

In the Castellane area, the Verdon is a tributary of the Chaudanne dam, so water releases are essential for whitewater activities. To find out more about water releases and forecasts, see our Whitewater FAQ.
