Walking tour of the Verdon Gorges: Stage 6 - Les Cavaliers - Aiguines

This 7-day itinerary takes you from one side of the emblematic Verdon Gorges site to the other, linking 7 communes and 2 departements all involved in the Verdon Gorges "Grand site de France" initiative.

This stage will take you up to one of the highest peaks in the Var, with an incredible view.

After crossing land belonging to the Conservatoire du Littoral, the route passes through the Aiguines beech forest, which is classified as a controlled biological reserve. It then climbs to the 1,577-metre-high summit of Grand Margés, on the edge of the Canjuers military camp, where you'll enjoy a breathtaking 360° view over the great gorges to the Mediterranean and Sainte-Croix lake, before descending to the hilltop village of Aiguines.

The hike can be done in both directions.
