Verdon Gorge, France
Europe's Grand Canyon - Exploring the Verdon Gorge.
Outdoor sports enthusiasts are spoiled for choice among the breath-taking landscapes of France's Verdon Gorge. Although the base of the gorge was only explored for the first time a century ago, today the Verdon is a major centre for canoeing and canyoning, rock climbing and rafting, wildlife watching, and local and long-distance walks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Visitors to France's break-taking Verdon Gorge, one of the greatest geological marvels of Europe, need a head for heights. From the popular vantage point of the Escalès belvedere, along the eponymously-named Route des Crêtes, 300-metre vertical cliffs plunge down into the chasm of the Verdon River and the narrow passage known as Samson's Corridor. To the north lie stunning panoramas of the Alpine peaks, while the Verdon itself snakes southwards, through rock-cut passages, to the plains and undulating hills of Provence beyond.
The Route des Crêtes is a meeting point for Europe's top rock climbers attracted by dozens of climbs criss-crossing the impressive slabs of vertical rock which are also training grounds for local firemen and outward bound enthusiasts. At river level, other adrenalin-rush sports include canoeing and canyoning, white water rafting and aquarando, a combination of river walking, rock scrambling and floating downstream.
As well as the gorge the Verdon area comprises five artificial lakes, dammed after the Second World War to provide hydro electricity. Largest of the lakes is Sainte Croix, a vast expanse of turquoise waters, which offers windsurfing, sailing, pedal and motor boats based at shoreline villages such as Bauden ...
