AQUA-RANDO IN THE VERDON

Float to discover the Verdon Canyon with aqua trekking: walking, swimming, jumping… and lots of laughter!

Aqua-rando in the Verdon: A Unique Immersion

Thanks to the intermittent water releases from the dam, it’s possible to explore the most inaccessible parts of the Verdon Gorge. When the river’s flow is at its lowest, you can venture into sections that aren’t navigable by raft (due to numerous rocks) or on foot (as there’s no path at the foot of the cliffs). Canyoning You aqua-rando is the ideal activity to discover canyons by both walking and swimming.

An Adventure Between Walking and Floating

Equipped with high-flotation life jackets, you'll drift along with the current, a very fun way to get around while admiring the imposing cliffs. When the river's course is blocked, you can bypass the rapids on foot. Don't hesitate to jump into the deep, crystal-clear pools to add a good dose of thrills to this enjoyable adventure.
