What level of experience do I need to have to river ride the Gorges du Verdon?
Never go off on your own: a professional guide is essential for the upper and middle Verdon. In all cases, we’ll take care of the equipment and logistics for your expedition. This is a ‘Moderate’ difficulty trip, which means you need to be a bit sporty to be able to string together activities over several days. Read our descriptions carefully and call us if you have any questions.
Which swimming skills and physical shape is necessary?
Being able to swim is mandatory (at least 25 meters and being able to put your head under water). To participate to this trip, you need to be in good physical shape, but no canoeing skills are required.
What accommodation is available for this trip?
For each trip, we have defined precise dates. You register according to availability. We organize your accommodation in a natural setting near the Verdon. You will be in private rooms or dormitories in our lodge in a mountain village. For single people, you will be grouped in dormitories or in a private room with an extra charge (consult us).
How to register ?
You can register online by paying a deposit of 30% of the total cost of your stay. Our teams will send you a payment link for the balance on D-15.
What are the safety conditions for this trip ?
Your guides and Verdon Voyages will provide all the necessary safety equipment and materials. Some activities such as hiking or electric bike rides are done in autonomy with a roadbook and a remote assistance.
In case of bad weather or bad conditions to practice the activity?
The activities you will undertake depend on the water flow of the Verdon and the weather risks. Verdon Voyages or your guide can therefore decide to cancel or modify part of the activity. These cancellations are rare. Similarly, unforeseen strong winds may lead the guide to cancel the activity for safety reasons. In this case, we will propose a replacement activity depending on the weather or water flow conditions. If no replacement activity is possible, we will compensate a part of the price of the stay.
Cancellation conditions :
- Before D-60: a handling fee of 50 euros will be retained.
- Between D-60 and D-8: the deposit paid at the time of booking will be retained.
