Circuit in the hills above Moustiers Sainte Marie
Moustiers Sainte Marie is worth a visit, but the route through the hills is a remarkable way to enjoy this very pleasant plateau.
The Belvédère de Tréguier
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
Very surprising viewpoints from the Col de l'Âne and Col de Plein Voir passes
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.
Plein Voir viewpoint
This hike leads to a stunning viewpoint over the Lac de Sainte-Croix and the Verdon Gorges.
Montdenier at the start of the Col de Saint Jurs
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.
The Grand Margès round trip
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.
The Mont Chiran observatory
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.
The climb up Grand Margès
A very beautiful hike offering magnificent views of the Sainte-Croix lake.
Lac de Sainte-Croix - Tour de Bauduen
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.
Roman roads of Pays du Verdon
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 Poil!
A journey to the end of the world, ideal for lovers of nature and tranquillity. And yet we are in the PACA region, in the heart of Haute-Provence, in a wild environment where you can discover the ancient village of Le Poil (in the 19th century, the commune had 350 inhabitants, including more than a hundred in the village).
The village of Poil starting from Chabrejas
A very beautiful, easy route through ancient lands in the wild lavender country.
The Gorges de Trévans, via the Chapelle Saint-André
Magnificent gorges, especially in autumn. The climb up to the Chapelle Saint-André is a 2km round trip, but the view from the top is well worth the diversions.
You will pass through the remains of the hamlet of Valbonnette. A little further on, another detour of around a hundred metres, to see the ruins of a house, where a large round pillar has remained in its centre, still with the notches used to fix the wooden beams on two levels.
Trévans Gorges via the château
Very beautiful hike to do between April and October.
The Circuit of Bauduen
A very enjoyable loop on the peninsula of Bauduen alongside Lake Sainte Croix.
The Véris trail in Bauduen
Very nice course with beautiful views of Lake Sainte-Croix.
Beynes Mountain
A rich and varied route with a climb through the forest followed by a summit offering a magnificent panoramic view stretching from Montagne Sainte-Victoire to the Massif des Écrins, taking in all the foothills of the Digne Pre-Alps and Mont Ventoux.
Gorges du Verdon - Sentier Blanc-Martel
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
The Suech Plateau
Overlooking the village of Rougon and located at an altitude of over 1,200 metres, the Plateau du Suech offers beautiful panoramic views where, with a little luck, you can admire the griffon vultures of the Verdon.
Rougon via the bridges of Carajuan, Sautet and Tusset, passing through Trigance
A beautiful circular loop for admiring the Gorges du Verdon in a more intimate way and from different viewpoints. Sumptuous panoramic views of the Grand Canyon and Colle de Breïs and, of course, Point Sublime. A challenging route, well suited to trail runners: it climbs for most of the route but with a reasonable gradient. Then comes a short but fairly steep descent, which proved less difficult than it looked.
The Samson Corridor tunnels and the Trescaïre towers
This round trip route takes you to the Samson Corridor, which marks the entrance to the Grand Canyon. It will take you through the tunnels of the Blanc-Martel trail to the Trescaïre viewpoint.The trail follows the Blanc-Martel trail, but is much more accessible and offers a unique experience thanks to the tunnels.The indicated elevation gain, calculated automatically, is incorrect.See the practical information section for details of the minimum equipment required.
Gorges and chapel of Baudinard-sur-Verdon
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.
Clue de la Melle
A hike above the Asse Valley offering views of the narrow Melle Gorges and the landscapes of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.
You can climb to 1,200 metres, where an isolated chapel on the plateau is the only remnant of a hamlet that was home to great acts of resistance before being destroyed.
Saint-Laurent-du-Verdon via the Château Chiron
A very pleasant route starting from Saint-Laurent-du-Verdon with views of the Verdon.
The Gorges du Verdon and Lake Artignosc
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
From the Valensole plateau to the Montpezat and Artignosc lakes
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!
