The Grand Canyon Expedition of Ride The Verdon is a test to be considered as the ascent of a summit in mountaineering. Very committed, this exceptional route is renowned throughout the world with breathtaking passages where the emerald green river sometimes rushes under the cliffs in total darkness. Over a distance of 25 km, between the Var and the Alpes de Haute Provence, this tough descent will challenge and dazzle you. The Haute-Provence Geopark is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its beauty is unparalleled.
