Tips from the Community
Beautiful hike! We just weren't aware that just below the highest point of this hike, on the southeast side, you had to climb and scramble over boulders for a long stretch. So, no path. Luckily, there were ropes in two places to hold on, but these 60-plus hikers had a tough time. Pay close attention to the yellow markers on this section!

Very scenic hike and (if you like) climbing to the Cadières de Brandis in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department. The Cadières de Brandis mountain dominates the Verdon valley. The hiking car park is on the Route Napoléon between Castellane and Barrême in the Parc naturel régional du Verdon nature park. On the way down I got a little off the path, so pay attention to the markings (yellow bars), because off the path it can quickly become exposed and even dangerous.

On the heights of the Verdon Gorges, breathtaking views follow one another. This one, where we see Mont Robion emerging as if from nowhere in this already magnificent landscape, stands out without a doubt.

The hike to the Sirens Valley near Castellane not only offers stunning natural beauty, but also a fascinating insight into its geological past. Along the trail, you’ll come across information boards explaining the area’s rich history and the ancient myths of sirens who are said to inhabit the waters. Keep your eyes peeled for fossils embedded in the rocky cliffs, reminding you that this area was once submerged by a prehistoric sea.

I walked this loop via GPS, I am not an experienced alpinist. There were four of us, 2 kids aged 14 and 16 in good condition. I found the route if you follow the GPS quite challenging in certain parts. Especially the part after the Menhir; steep sections with some climbing. And it is not always clear where to go. (Ultimately with GPS) So be warned if you have young kids or are in poor condition. Once you're used to it, it's a fantastic experience!
