The tour of the Sainte-Croix lake takes you on a journey through time and water. It invites you to feel the spirit of the place as you meet 6 villages whose destiny was turned upside down by the building of a dam in the 1970s.
This stage begins with a climb up the Véris hill, before descending along a path through lapiaz with a view of the island of Coste Belle before joining the Garuby track and following the shores of the lake to the village of Les Salles-sur-Verdon. Here you can stop for a bite to eat, refuel and relax on the beaches of Les Salles, or continue after a short climb to Aiguines, which marks the entrance to the left bank of the Grand Canyon. The hike can be done in both directions.
When the lake level is high, the practicability of this path may be affected (parts flooded, mud, etc.). It may be necessary to temporarily change to a parallel path (if available) or return to the starting point.
