More than 1500 routes are currently open in the Verdon with various levels of difficulty. Some of them have rather evocative names such as Chainsaw Massacre and Dingomaniac, which hints at the difficulty of the climb. But don’t worry, beginners can also climb in the Verdon on more accessible routes, supervised by qualified instructors with the numerous clubs in the region. Climb the famous walls of the Verdon: it’s now or never! A fun activity that can is accessible to the whole family where you are surrounded by breathtaking scenery!

    Would you like an alternative to climbing to change things up during your trip? Why not try the via ferrata? Scale ladders and cross footbridges and monkey bridges for laughs and thrills with the whole family. You won’t be disappointed between the scenery and breathtaking views!

    Paragliding above the Verdon Gorges

    Have you always dreamed of feeling the freedom of flying like a bird?

    Head to Club Haut les Mains de Clumanc to get some height as you fly over the Verdon while paragliding! A flight over an exceptional natural setting that you will not soon forget!

    You will be accompanied by an experienced and qualified instructor. Takeoff and landing will be very smooth, no turbulence, so you can enjoy every second of your flight!  Once you take off, all your fears will vanish, and you will be amazed by the beauty of the landscapes that will pass before your eyes! Flights depart from the top of Mount Chalet and with a little luck you may catch a glimpse of a chamois or vulture from the sky. Up there, the views are gorgeous. If you want a little more thrill, tell your flight instructor, they will adapt!
