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.

Be prepared for a difficult climb. After that, the descent is not too difficult, except for the end where the path is a little steep.

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

A magnificent hike starting from the Chalet de la Maline, following the Verdon riverbed upstream to the road at Saut du Baou (Couloir Samson car park), with two short extensions: one towards the superb Estellier footbridge, downstream at the foot of La Maline at the start of the route, and the other towards the beautiful Verdon/Artuby confluence at La Mescla.
