A circular eight-shaped loop starting from the village of Esparron-de-Verdon. A round trip takes you to the pretty site of the "Salle à Manger" in the lower Gorges du Verdon (access to water possible). After starting on a small road, the route alternates between rocky paths and wide tracks. There are some lovely views of the lake and glimpses of the plateaus of Provence and its lavender fields.

A family hike partly along the edge of Lake Esparron with many opportunities for swimming and picnicking. The second part of the hike is mostly in the woods with views of Lake Esparron. This hike is generally very shaded.

This is a very pleasant walk, with no real difficulty, offering views of Lake Esparron for most of the route. You can enjoy superb scenery as you climb up onto the plateau. There is a chance to swim if you follow the lake shore.

A circular walk starting from the road between Gréoux-les-Bains and Esparron-de-Verdon, a stretch through the heath, a visit to the village of Esparron-de-Verdon and a return route through the mountains.

A circular route between Saint-Martin-de-Brômes, passing by the Clock Tower and the church, then along the Chemin de la Crête de Saint-Pierre, with views of the mountains behind Moustiers, a descent along a lovely path towards Allemagne-en-Provence, passing by the Château de Castellane, and back down to the plain via the cycle path.

This walk near Gréoux-les-Bains takes you to discover a tributary of the Verdon, the Colostre, a charming little river that flows all year round through a small, fairly steep-sided valley. Also on the itinerary are an oppidum and the magnificent village of Saint-Martin-de-Brômes. This route is not signposted, so it is advisable to use your mobile phone to follow the GPS track. There is a ladder to climb (about 2 metres high), so this route is not recommended for those who are very prone to vertigo (though it’s no worse than climbing a stepladder), or for those with very young children (children aged 3–4 and over will really enjoy it!) or with large dogs. There are a few sections along the Colostre that may prove tricky for those who aren’t very agile, especially if it has just rained.
