Since 1999, vultures have once again been flying over the Gorges du Verdon, thanks to passionate ornithologists and various associations, notably the ligue de protection des oiseaux (LPO). There are now more than 300 individuals, including a hundred pairs, soaring from the cliffs of the Gorges du Verdon. 600,000 hectares.
Contemplate their agility in remaining in static flight in the midst of gusty winds.
Be aware of their scale. From wingtip to wingtip, it can be up to 2.80 m!
To be lucky enough to see them is to experience the “Wow!” effect when they pass two meters above our heads.
You can park at the various lookouts on the 1st part of the Route des Crêtes.
