In between, getting out for five hours is difficult. Then all or nothing applies

Some GPS errors, however follow the path from A to river cross and back. 🤘

May 24, 2025,Sentiere Martin La Palud-sur-Verdon

A beautiful hike into a valley that couldn't be more beautiful. Over cliffs, slopes, along the water, with breathtaking views. Three beautiful caves that had to be explored with headlamps. A must for any hiker in the area.

Frankly, I didn't find it incredible. It's long, often flat, with little access to the Verdon. And there are people. In July and August it must be horrible. There are some pretty views all the same.

May 26, 2023,Gorges du Verdon - Beeindruckende Schluchtenwanderung mit Hindernissen 🥾

Absolutely impressive round!

We parked our car in the free Samson Parking lot (sublime point is extremely expensive) and hiked from there. Great views of the rock faces. Only the countless caterpillars that abseiled everywhere and diligently dismantled all the bushes were exhausting.

August 26, 2021,Gorges du Verdon - Sentier Martel

This tour is of course one of the absolute must-sees! Due to high traffic, it is recommended to avoid the holiday season. In addition, you must find out in advance and book the access / return shuttles. The more comfortable version is to leave your car in a car park (6, - € in 2021) under the Point Sublime (arrival), …

June 17, 2025,🥾Couloir Samson - Les échelles Imbert < >🥾

Beautiful, impressive rock formations and some easily accessible natural pools. Sturdy footwear, surefootedness, and a lack of fear of heights are essential for this tour. A flashlight is essential for crossing a 650-meter-long former mining tunnel.

The inaccuracy of the GPS data leads the mapper to assume that the river will be crossed several times. This is not the case. …

May 26, 2024,Sentier Blanc-Martel - vom Point Sublime zum Chalet de la Maline

It is absolute nonsense to do the tour the way I did. Firstly, there are more metres of elevation. Secondly, you can park for free at the Chalet de la Maline, while half a day at Point Sublime costs €46... Hindsight is always 20/20, and you should be very suspicious of tour descriptions in any blog!
