July 22, 2024,Belvedere – Fantastisch perspectief rondtocht vanuit Saint-Julien-du-Verdon

After 4 km at the belvedere junction there is a cross for straight ahead.
You can just continue walking, but keep a close eye on the route.
The path here is not maintained and you therefore have to go through a lot of bushes.
Long pants are a must.

September 16, 2022,HIKE - St Julien du Verdon

Nice tour - only last 1.8km next to very busy road.

September 21, 2023,Gipfel Picandoux Runde von Saint-Julien-du-Verdon

After a lot of rain, we were able to hike without getting wet. The route differs from the official hiking trail. Unfortunately the last 1.5 km lead along the road. Otherwise very quiet with lots of beautiful views!
