River Trekking in the Grand Canyon of Verdon - Sport

Enjoy this total immersion in the Grand Canyon of Verdon!

During this river trekking tour that can be recommended to sporty people seeking adventure, we discover parts of the canyon not accessible by boat. We will swim in the river, pass through rapids, alternate with more contemplative moments and even propose jumps. On our way we will cross the most beautiful parts of the Verdon: the Styx, the Corridor of the Giant Pots, the Passage of Maugué, and the Imbut where the river disappears underground.

Go for a true sporting discovery in the pearl of Provence and the hinterland of the French Riviera!
