A beautiful walk up the Verdon by its bed ! A feast for the eyes from start to finish !
⚠️The Sentier Martel is not very difficult for regular walkers, but you have to be careful. However, the trickiest part is the Imbert ladders (6 ladders, 252 steps), which are difficult for hikers prone to vertigo.
The difference in altitude is overestimated. See comments at the bottom of this page

Departure from Trigance (Var)
A very beautiful walk, best done in spring or autumn. The ascent follows the PR® route up the slope of the Colle de Breis to make the most of the morning sun: this is therefore the opposite direction to the route already published on Visorando. This is followed by a return trip to the Rancoumas viewpoint, which overlooks the Gorges du Verdon. Finally, return via the GR®49 in the afternoon sun, passing through the hamlet of Entreverges and then beneath the rocky outcrop of the Serrière du Preil.
