WATER RAMBLING: Discovery trip in the Verdon gorges A friendly and fun way of exploring every corner of the entrance of the canyon. |
|
|
Programme We take advantage of the summer days where the water releases from the dam are at a minimum level to explore the entrance of the Verdon gorges. Floating, swimming and walking are the ways to do it. Water rambling is definitely one of the most appropriate and fun ways of discovering the natural beauties hidden at the bottom of the gorges. Meet at 9:30 am or 1:30 pm at "Adventure Forest", close to Castellane (see access map). You will get equipped there with a full-body wetsuit, neoprene socks, life-jacket and helmet. You will be then driven to the Samson corridor with the ABOARD Rafting bus (20 mn. drive). Equiped with a wetsuit, a helmet and a life jacket, you let the current carry you gently along the river and take you to discover the Verdon's best-kept mineral secrets. A "water ramble" not only implies floating, but also jumping and swimming in clear water, or walking around rapids, fallen trees or any obstacle we might encounter. Thanks to this simple technique, the naturals beauties hidden at the bottom of the gorges do not escape our eyes, and you can enjoy a refreshing and exciting moment. We will then ramble our way through a maze of rocks (well-named "les Labyrinthes"). We will eventually reach the end of the Samson corridor where we will get out of the river. Once out of the water, there is a 20 minutes walk on the Sentier Martel trail to reach the Samson corridor road, where we will be driven back to Castellane. |
