Walking - Traverse de l'échelle

From the Luberon to the Durance, the Calavon river passes through many rocky sites, but none has reached the size of the gorges of Oppedette. Magical!

The rough descent complemented with handrails to move from one ledge to another, leads to 150m below the deepest gorges. Then, following a riverside, the route rises abruptly on the opposite bank and escapes in the end by the pitch through the scale best climb with caution. An active discovery that requires crossing several air and technical passages on cliff edges, sometimes exposed despite the equipment. A real treat.!

This itinerary is reserved for hikers who do not fear the void! To be avoided by all means during rainy or foggy weather.

- A series of air and technical passages on cliff edges, sometimes exposed despite the existing equipment (handrails).

- 2 fording sites; turn around in case of flooding!

- Steep slope and ladder climbing (with railings).

- Many inconvenient rocky passages (limestone pavement).

Remember to bring enough water, especially in the hot sun!
