セーヌの峡谷・トップ11

Small, narrow and charming road in the middle of impressive gorges... be careful, there is a bit of traffic in summer but the cars don't go fast

Very scenic hike and (if you like) climbing to the Cadières de Brandis in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department. The Cadières de Brandis mountain dominates the Verdon valley. The hiking car park is on the Route Napoléon between Castellane and Barrême in the Parc naturel régional du Verdon nature park. On the way down I got a little off the path, so pay attention to the markings (yellow bars), because off the path it can quickly become exposed and even dangerous.

I walked this loop via GPS, I am not an experienced alpinist. There were four of us, 2 kids aged 14 and 16 in good condition. I found the route if you follow the GPS quite challenging in certain parts. Especially the part after the Menhir; steep sections with some climbing. And it is not always clear where to go. (Ultimately with GPS) So be warned if you have young kids or are in poor condition. Once you're used to it, it's a fantastic experience!

The landscapes are magnificent

Be sure to include this section in the tour. The small road has little traffic and winds through a landscape of rocks and gorges. Great route

Great winding road through rocks and ravines. Be sure to include it on the tour
