Verdon Gorge to Lake Sainte-Croix

Highlight • Lake

The Gorges de Verdun are a very popular place of natural beauty in France. You don't need to go in the water to enjoy this pearl. Nearby roads and bridges provide stunning views of the gorge below.

Along the Lac du Sainte-Croix there are some steep and long uphill sections. Sufficient fitness is therefore a prerequisite. Otherwise, the roads are easy to drive on, which can also be seen from the many cyclists (racing bikes, gravel bikes, full bikes).

Gravel trail between Moustiers and Lac de Sainte-Croix

Highlight • Other

Gravel path without difficulty! Probably one of the most relaxing parts of the TransVerdon. The path winds through green expanses.

Moustiers Sainte-Marie

Highlight • Settlement

Leaning against its wall, this village has a strong character. Ideally located between the Gorges du Verdon and the Lac de Sainte-Croix, it is one of the essentials of the Verdon Regional Natural Park.

Galetas Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A real postcard decor! On one side, the Verdon which comes out of the gorges, and on the other, the lake of Sainte-Croix. The Galetas Bridge offers one of the best-known views in the region, and also forms the junction between the Var and the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.

May 26, 2025,nach Moustiers-Sainte-Marie

A short city tour through a small town with many alleys, shops, and restaurants. We also climbed the two viewpoints at the Chapelle-Notre-Dame de Beauvoir. From there, we had beautiful views of the city all the way to the lake.

Today around midday, after we had waited out the short morning shower, we walked the few kilometers along Lac St. Croix, past the mouth of the Verdon and then up to the beautiful mountain town of Moustier St. Marie with its star hanging between the rocks above the town.
