The biggest grand canyon in Europe : explore the fascinating Verdon Gorges!

Welcome to the Verdon : located on the border of the Alps and Provence, the Verdon gorges have earned the reputation for the most beautiful and deep river canyon in Europe! The Verdon offers a diversity of breathtaking landscapes in a remarkable, natural environment. 

The panoramic hikes, at an altitude range of 500m to 1,400m, lead you through forest and scrubland, along cliffs and at the bottom of the gorges. Your hiking days end in small perched villages with a typical Provencal charm and stunning  views ! 

Some of the most famous and spectacular paths are the Martel path, the Belvedere of Rancoumas or the crests road by bike. The Verdon is a paradise for hikers, cyclists and lovers of the great outdoors. Boasting a unique and diverse ecosystem, you will be able to observe many species of vultures and golden eagles that fly in a spiral: amazing!
