Hiking - The Bastidon Trail

A contrast of the superheated garrigue of the Verdon from the shady and cool forest of the ubac of Barbin, you will walk in a wild and grand place.

"One of the most beautiful hikes in the region despite 1,000m of vertical drop! For almost 2 hours by the Bastidon trail, I was able to discover, along the Verdon, the diversity of this sector. Accessible despite some wired passages. I loved the viewpoint at the Mayreste lookout on the Grand Canyon du Verdon, the pine and beech forests that cover the mountain of Barbin."

Avoid high summer temperatures, leave early. Take: 3L of water per person, a hat, and walking shoes Be wary of certain wired passages (handrail). Not recommended for persons prone to vertigo.
