    Breathtaking Verdon !

    Exceptional hikes

    From a glacial lake to a lavender-coloured field, along a track shaped by the transhumance, at the bottom of a narrow gorge where an impetuous torrent flows, or in a small hamlet in the heart of the mountain. The marked hiking trails lead you to unique panoramas and sometimes reserve beautiful encounters with wildlife.
