View of Lac de Castillon

Highlight • Viewpoint

After Saint-André-lès-Alpes, at the level of the Pic de Chamatte, the Verdon widens and takes the form of a beautiful expanse of turquoise water. It is a paradise for hikers, cyclists and climbers.

Located between Moriez and Corchon, this path offers a clear view of the surrounding area. A small cross is erected at the top.

Nice trail that requires some skill in some places. Unfortunately, we came up the trail from the south - but it's also fun to drive up, but every now and then you have to push the bike. The next time, however, the route will definitely be driven from the north. ;)

La Baume – Cheiron Trail

Highlight • Trail

This path which starts from the hamlet of La Baume and goes to the village of Cheiron is very pleasant. Its first part is fluid, its second part is more technical.

It offers some very beautiful views along the way.

Castillon Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Castillon dam was commissioned in 1948. With its 95 meters high and 200 meters wide, it is rather imposing! It also offers a great view of the Verdon.

The trails are sometimes very demanding. Especially uphill there you go in the area S3 to S4-.
I pushed up the mountain to a total of 400 m but not every now and then 50 to 100 m in one go
Magnificent tour definitely worth you. 😎👍😅
