Hiking - Barre du Pidanoux

This hike, easy and very pleasant, is ideal during spring and offers multiple viewpoints on the Castillon lake.

This hike starts from the village of Saint-Julien-du-Verdon, located on the shores of the beautiful Castillon lake. The Barre de Pidanoux (small orogeny) overlooks the lake of 300m and offers exceptional views both to the North (Saint-André-les-Alpes) and to the South (Saint-Julien-du-Verdon). From the ridge, the view also covers the Basse d'Angles (mount) and the Pic de Chamatte recognizable by its unusual outline.

Avoid high summer temperatures, leave early. We recommend: 2L of water per person, a hat and proper hiking shoes. Preferred seasons: spring, autumn (fall).
