Hiking - Cadières de Brandis

This dolomitic formation is intriguing, it resembles perched chimneys on a ridge with stunning views.

Dominating the Verdon at over 1545m, the cliffs of Cadières de Brandis mark the landscape (Cadiero meaning chair in the Occitan language, therefore "cadières de brandis" could mean "wobbly chairs"). This walk offers remarkable views of this geological curiosity and the surrounding peaks.

Avoid high summer temperatures, leave early. We recommend: 2 L of water per person, a hat and proper hiking shoes.
