Our via ferrata routes in the Verdon Gorges

In the heart of the Verdon Gorges, via ferrata and via cordata activities offer a unique way to discover the Verdon cliffs from an entirely different perspective. With airy passages, monkey bridges, rocky traverses, and abseiling sections, these routes provide a spectacular immersion into one of France’s most beautiful natural sites. Suitable both for thrill-seeking sports enthusiasts and for those looking to experience vertical adventure for the first time, these activities allow you to progress safely along the walls that have made the Verdon world-famous.

Among the must-do routes, the via ferrata / cordata du Grand Canyon (le Trou du Renard) is ideal for discovering the activity in an exceptional setting. Accessible and fun, it combines a series of airy sections with stunning viewpoints over the gorges. For those seeking a more demanding adventure, the Grande Aventure via ferrata / cordata (Mainmorte) offers a full itinerary combining rope progression, abseiling, exposed sections, and exploration of the cliffs of the Verdon Grand Canyon.

Most of these routes are located near La Palud-sur-Verdon, the true capital of outdoor sports in the Verdon. Just a few minutes away, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie charms visitors with its heritage, Provençal streets, and privileged location at the entrance to Lake Sainte-Croix. Further upstream, Castellane is also an excellent base for discovering the wide range of mountain activities offered in the region.

Between characterful villages, breathtaking panoramas, and accessible vertical routes, the via ferrata and via cordata of the Verdon offer a unique way to explore the gorges from a different angle. Whether you are on holiday in the Verdon or visiting from elsewhere in Provence, these routes provide an unforgettable adventure in an exceptional natural environment.
