Water Activities on the Verdon

The flow of the Middle Verdon is regulated by a dam, meaning activities such as rafting, cano-raft, air-boat, and hydrospeed are only possible when water is released.

During Spring (April – June)

Water releases on the Middle Verdon occur irregularly.
When there is no release, trips can take place on the Upper Verdon (above the dam), in the Fontgaillarde gorges, just 30 minutes from Castellane.

In the Summer (July – August)

On the Middle Verdon, dam releases are more regular, usually on Tuesdays and Fridays.
On non-release days, discover the Verdon differently with our water rambling (Aqua-rando) activity, perfect for exploring the gorges du Verdon.

In Fall (September)

Water releases on the Middle Verdon occur irregularly.
On non-release days, discover the Verdon differently with our water rambling (Aqua-rando) activity, perfect for exploring the gorges du Verdon.

River rapids are classified according to their technical difficulty, established during normal flow periods. This difficulty may vary depending on the river flow rate. The following classification was established by the decree of May 4, 1995 from the Ministry of Youth and Sports.

Class I = easy:

Regular flow, regular waves, small eddies, simple obstacles.

Class II = moderately difficult:

(clear passage) irregular flow, irregular waves, moderate eddies, weak whirlpools and rapids, simple obstacles in the current, small drops.

Class III = difficult:

(visible passage) high irregular waves, large eddies, whirlpools and rapids. Rock blocks, small falls, various obstacles in the current.

Class IV = very difficult:

(passage not visible in advance, scouting generally necessary) large continuous waves, powerful rollers and rapids. Rocks obstructing the current, higher falls with hydraulics.

Class V = extremely difficult:

(scouting inevitable) extreme waves, whirlpools, and rapids. Narrow passages, very high falls with difficult entries and exits.

Class VI = limit of navigability:

(generally impossible) possibly navigable depending on water levels. High risks.
