Why you cannot miss the Verdon Gorges
The Verdon Gorge is a globally renowned climbing destination, celebrated for its immense potential and breathtaking scenery. While the impressive Escalès cliff on the right bank is the largest, most iconic, and most frequented sector, the Verdon is home to countless other climbing areas. These sectors, scattered both within the gorge and beyond, on the right and left banks, offer an incredible diversity of routes. Climbers will find everything from hundreds of single-pitch routes to exhilarating multi-pitch climbs, many of which are accessible by foot or via abseiling into the gorge.
KooKoo Travel invites you to experience the magic of the Verdon Gorge with guided day outings tailored to your preferences. Whether you're drawn to sport single-pitch climbing or epic multi-pitch adventures, our experienced guides ensure a safe and unforgettable climb.
