Activity description

Hike the Cadières de Brandis site in Castellane with a passionate and experienced guide!

Verdon Nature invites you to discover the specific geological features of the Verdon Regional Nature Park during a hike in Castellane, a picturesque and renowned Verdon commune that has been awarded the Village et cité de caractère label. Castellane lies at the heart of the Haute Provence Geological Reserve, with the Cadières de Brandis to the west, a series of impressive cliffs that you will explore in the company of your professional guide.

Discover this exceptional site and learn all about it thanks to the comments and anecdotes of your guide, a specialist in the geology of the Verdon! In a group of no more than 12 people, you'll be able to share a convivial moment with the other hikers and chat easily with the guide.

The guided hike to Cadières de Brandis is a varied loop of 3.5 hours over 7.5 km, with 400 m of ascent. Starting from the Col des Lèques (1146m), it offers a chance to explore the Verdon from the mountain side, with its tumultuous landscapes and varied flora, and for the lucky and discreet, to spot chamois.

So what are you waiting for? Prepare your backpack and set off on a guided hike along the Cadières from Brandis to Castellane!
