Issole Forest and Deux Saints Rock Circular Walk
8.84 mi
+1,309 ft
-1,322 ft
5h 10
Moderate
Departure from Saint-André-les-Alpes (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)
A lovely walk through the Issole State Forest, planted with magnificent pine trees. Then, after skirting Lake Castillon, cross the bridge spanning the Verdon to make a detour to a small peak known as Les Deux Saints, which offers a stunning panorama of the Verdon valley and the lake.Throughout the hike, the gradient is gentle, on a path that is very easy on the joints and which occasionally alternates with a forest track, both of which are always very well signposted. Only the final climb to Les Deux Saints is steeper.
