Cheiron Pass

From Castellane, you have to climb a little over four kilometers on a slope of 4.1% before arriving at the Col de Cheiron. The view at the top is a great reward!

Lake Castillon

the lake was created by the dam being built. Beautiful surroundings, with good infrastructure, offers many opportunities for water sports, rest, cycling etc. Highly recommended also if you want to drive around by car

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.
