Departure from Les Salles-sur-Verdon (Var)
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.

Departure from La Palud-sur-Verdon (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)
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

Following tracks, paths and little-used trails, this walk will take you to the Belvédère de l’Huby, where you’ll be treated to a superb 360° panorama, stretching from Sainte-Baume to Ventoux, Lure, Bure and beyond… A haven of coolness and greenery awaits you at the Lodge de Trévans for your lunch break. From there, you can choose to follow the return route described or shorten the walk by taking the signposted path that leads from the lodge to the Délasse footbridge over the Estoublaisse.
