Gorges d'Oppedette

Highlight • Gorge

Following the uplift of the Lure mountain, it was the Calavon river that shaped these magnificent gorges. The word Calavon means stone river. The watercourse is indeed often dry, leaving only a river of stones.

Beautiful cliffs

Highlight • Other

The western edge offers breathtaking views of the village of Oppedette. The path on the western side is also more rustic and a small ladder has to be climbed. It is most beautiful to hike in spring when the Calavon has water.

August 9, 2022, Gorges d'Oppedette – Grotte-tunnel de l'Echelle Rondje vanuit Oppedette

Difficult route with difficult paths. Certainly not for everyone. Have adjusted the route because you had to descend via a rope ladder. A beautiful view.

Very very beautiful walk around the gorges of Oppedette ... Not very long, potentially slippery in rainy weather but what a delight !! To do as soon as you are in the area.

This is a very nice walk. Good walking shoes are really desirable. Some parts are difficult to walk but take it easy and watch where you walk and you will always succeed. In rain or after rain it can be slippery.

This tour is NOT easy, you only walk over stones, partly with signs "caution, dangerous path"; partly only accessible with iron struts. It always goes along the steep abyss. Hardly suitable for children. At least moderate, if not difficult. But the tour was wonderful.

Not an easy hike ... Lots of rocks to clamber across and steep drops very close to the path.

The more strenuous🥵part of the day took us to the small but picturesque🖼️ and sleepy mountain village⛰️🛖Oppedette. From here we head along alpine paths with amazing views👀and great plants💐 on higher paths around the entire gorge - sweaty, but simply great!

A really nice round and even without the sun I was able to experience a few autumn colors. But the way is not as easy as Komoot thinks. Continuously difficult terrain, gravel, more or less high rock needles and always on the precipice. You should be free from giddiness, otherwise it's no fun 😉

The tour is suitable for experienced hikers. There are some places where sure-footedness is required. The total altitude difference is around 400 m including climbing.
