Getaways for all

Escapades from Le Vieux Castel, for everyone, nature, heritage, culture

The Parc Naturel du Verdon is unspoilt, spectacular and authentic, and there are many motorized and non-motorized escapades departing from Le Vieux Castel. For sure, you won't see everything in one stay.

You'll find lots of information on the Verdon Tourisme website, either on the home page or on this selection page, where you can download maps. As far as we're concerned, we'll be happy to recommend a few must-do walks, or some more original ones to avoid the crowds. We'll be happy to advise you on the best nature spots nearby. Picnic equipment is provided. Guides and maps are also available in the entrance hall.

The Blanc-Martel trail

C’est un incontournable des Gorges du Verdon, parce qu’il est spectaculaire tout en étant accessible à tous les bons randonneurs (env. 6 heures). Comme la randonnée est référencée dans tous les guides de voyage, c’est un peu la cohue en haute saison. Nous vous conseillons de la faire au printemps, quand le Verdon est le plus tumultueux. Réservez votre navette pour le retour sur le site du Parc du Verdon

Belvedere of Rancoumas

At the start It's a good alternative to the Blanc-Martel trail in high summer because it's much less busy, it's shaded because it's in the undergrowth for a good part of the hike and, as it's a loop, it doesn't suffer from the logistical problems of the Blanc-Martel trail.
