Hiking - LA PALUD SUR VERDON - Le Bastidon Out and Back

A challenging hike above the Grand Canyon

The Bastidon loop is closed for safety reasons, so this hike is a thrilling out-and-back alternative. With tricky sections secured by handrails, it will let you experience the Verdon from a new perspective.

Avoid the intense summer heat; set out early, as the trail is very exposed to the sun the entire way. Be sure to bring: 3L of water per person, a hat, and hiking boots. Warning: some cabled sections (handrails) can be quite unstable (risk of falling). Not recommended for people prone to vertigo.
