Hiking - The summit of Destourbes

The climb to the summit of Destourbes is progressive and offers a succession of panoramas on the reservoir of Chaudanne.

The summit of Destourbes is the privileged summit of the Castellanais. The hike is largely covered in the forest. The reward is at the end of this climb which culminates at 1543m, bringing together the main heights of the region. Its ascent back and forth also allows time to visit the town of Castellane.

Avoid the strong summer heat, leave early. We recommend: 2L of water per person, a hat and proper hiking shoes. Preferred seasons: Spring, autumn (fall). IGN map: 3542 OT
