A true immersion into the wild, this stage transports you to the heart of exceptional landscapes. From the surprising Gorges de Trévans to the dizzying depths of the Verdon Grand Canyon, the route winds through Majastres and the untamed scenery of the Regional Natural Park.
"The journey begins gently as you leave Digne-les-Bains, heading toward the Asse Valley and the charming village of Mézel. This is where the real challenge starts: a masterful ascent on a secret, wild road leads you toward Majastres. This quiet, off-the-beaten-path route reveals breathtaking panoramas of the Montdenier massif, in the heart of the preserved wilderness of the Verdon Regional Natural Park. The trail follows the Montdenier ridges before beginning a descent toward the villages of Rougon and La Palud-sur-Verdon. You then enter the sanctuary of the Verdon Gorges, where the terrain plunges spectacularly into the Grand Canyon.
The climax arrives during the final approach: the view suddenly shifts to the turquoise waters of Lake Sainte-Croix. It is one of the most iconic panoramas in Provence, marking your imminent arrival at Moustiers-Sainte-Marie (14km connection)
