Discovery Verdon

We reach the banks of the Verdon via a lovely 15-minute walk in. The guide will then give you instructions on how to progress through the gorges. We enter the water, then let ourselves be carried along by the current by floating and swimming. We only leave the water to bypass an obstacle (a cluttered or shallow rapid).
A short (about 10mn) down walk thru the forest will get you to the Verdon river shore.
Equiped with a wetsuit, a helmet and a life jacket, you will use the current to carry you along the river and take you to discover the Verdon’s best-kept mineral secrets. A “water ramble” not only implies floating, but also jumping and swimming in clear water, or walking around rapids, fallen trees or any obstacle we might encounter.
Thanks to this simple technique, the naturals beauties hidden at the bottom of the gorges do not escape our eyes, and you can enjoy a refreshing and exciting moment. Some possible jumps in beauty pools are on our way (no jump is compulsory). We will eventually reach the end of the trip by the Samson corridor where we will get out of the river.
Once out of the water, there is a 10 minutes walk on the “Sentier Martel” trail to reach the Samson view point road, where you will be driven back to Castellane.
