Les Salles-sur-Verdon walks

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

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.

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

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

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.

Two magnificent viewpoints over the Gorges du Verdon (downstream from Lac de Sainte-Marie).

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.

Botanical trail leading to the Belvédère de Tréguier, with a magnificent view of the Lac de Sainte-Croix and the Ravin d'Angouire at the end

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

Discover the Baudinard Gorges and the unique colour of the Verdon with its many caves. You will climb to higher ground and enjoy numerous panoramic views: the most beautiful in the Var with its lakes, mountains, forests and dams.

A hike in Pays du Verdon that takes ancient Roman roads, runs alongside an abandoned village and a chapel sheltered by rocks with magnificent landscapes.

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.

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

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 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.

A pleasant hike in a beautiful setting with no difficulties. Just for relaxation. This hike complements the Portail de Blieux hike described on the website.

This hike offers impressive panoramic views of Provence and the Southern Alps. In winter, you can enjoy magnificent views of the snow-covered Southern Alps. The small village of Saint-Jurs is pleasant. And then there's the view...

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

This is a superb hike, perfect for a family outing. It is not particularly difficult and offers breathtaking views of the Valensole plateau, the Verdon, Lake Sainte Croix, the Southern Alps, the Baronnies and Mont Ventoux.

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.

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

Climb Chiran via another route, starting from the village of Blieux. You will reach the Chiran observatory after a beautiful 1,000 m climb through vegetation typical of the Southern Alps. In spring, this hike is beautiful with its colourful orchids on the plateau. At the summit, there is a magnificent 360° view. This hike is not technically difficult and is very easy to navigate.
