From La Palud-sur-Verdon, take the Route des Crêtes, a 24-km loop that leads back to La Palud. The views are magnificent.

This route takes you from the Huttopia Campsite in the Verdon valley up the mountains along the canyon with great views on the Verdon river and canyon. After leaving the main road for the circuit the road gets really steep (10% +) but it's worth the effort of climbing up there. Start early to avoid traffic and the heat. :)

Magnificent road which dominates the Verdon. Dizzying views! peaks over 600m! To do and redo absolutely!

October 26, 2022,RR 26.10 Grand Canyon du Verdon - Premiumtour mim Schatz

The Verdun Gorge with the road bike highlight Route des Cretes was already one of my personal top 10. But the tour at the end of October tops everything: Autumn colors, almost no traffic at all!!!! we almost had the street to ourselves... what more could a biker heart ask for???
