Artignosc-sur-Verdon walks

A pretty walk off the beaten path. The views are breathtaking in diverse landscapes, all from the beautiful little hilltop village of Artignosc-sur-Verdon.

A very pleasant route starting from Saint-Laurent-du-Verdon with views of the Verdon.

The territory of Saint-Laurent-du-Verdon stretches from the banks of the river to the Valensole plateau. What a beautiful setting for a walk between the blue of the lavender and the blue of the lakes created by the construction of the Quinson dam. And if the sky is at its best, what a symphony of blues!

A splendid hike starting from the Château de Saint-Laurent-Du-Verdon, which is private property. Do not enter the château grounds. You will walk along forest paths, skirting part of the Verdon Gorge and part of Lake Artignosc, as well as magnificent green meadows and fields of lavender in bloom from mid-June to mid-July. This is an easy hike, ideal for beginners and occasional walkers

Hike along the Baudinard-sur-Verdon Gorges, on cliffs 100 to 150 m high plunging into turquoise blue water. Then return via the Museau de la Colline, offering numerous breathtaking views of the Lac de Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon, to finally arrive at the Chapelle Notre-Dame de Baudinard with its belvedere overlooking the lake. Not to mention a visit to the village of Baudinard-sur-Verdon.

Wonderful hike through the Lower Verdon Gorges, starting in Quinson.

A walk around Quinson, to be done before or after a visit to the Prehistory Museum.

Explore the turquoise waters of the lower Verdon Gorge by canoe, kayak or electric boat.

Very nice course with beautiful views of Lake Sainte-Croix.

A very enjoyable loop on the peninsula of Bauduen alongside Lake Sainte Croix.

On this hike you will be rewarded with beautiful views into the village of Esparron-de-Verdon and across to the hills of the Verdon Canyon. Enjoy the flowers, butterflies and olive trees as well as an optional visit to see the village chateau and church.

Above the lake of Esparron-de-Verdon.

Here I suggest a variation on a route in Bauduen that is already on the site. The start is more easily accessible for hikers coming from the north. This variation also avoids the rocky area to the north-west of the route while offering beautiful views of Lake Sainte-Croix.

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.

A beautiful walk through various landscapes, olive trees, impressive stone walls, a pine forest, caves and cave chapels.

A very beautiful hike offering magnificent views of the Sainte-Croix lake.

This walk near Gréoux-les-Bains allows you to discover a tributary of the Verdon, the Colostre, a charming little river that flows all year round in a small, fairly steep-sided valley. Also on the programme are an oppidum and the magnificent village of Saint-Martin-de-Brômes.

The climb up the Grand Margès is challenging. The round trip means you don't need two vehicles. At the summit, the panoramic view of the Lac de Sainte-Croix, the Issioule ridges, the Verdon Gorge and even the Alps is magnificent.

A lovely walk in the woods. Discover two small old chapels. Beautiful views of Aups.

A loop with three major points of interest: - the village of Pontevès and its ruined castle at the top of the village, - the climb up the Petit Bessillon, offering a beautiful view of the Var department, and its technical descent, - the return to Barjols via the Vallon des Carmes and its waterfalls (currently closed, see practical information). Unfortunately, the first hour of the hike is mainly on roads in order to complete the loop.

This hike leads to a stunning viewpoint over the Lac de Sainte-Croix and the Verdon Gorges.

A magnificent, varied and challenging circular offering superb views of the Gorges du Verdon, the Pont du Galetas and Lac de Sainte-Croix, accompanied by vultures, which are very present in the cliffs. See practical information regarding difficulties and vertiginous passages.

Moustiers Sainte Marie is worth a visit, but the route through the hills is a remarkable way to enjoy this very pleasant plateau.
