Verdon River Adventure Trip 6D/5N | Lodge

Overview

Experience the Verdon River adventure trip over 6 unforgettable days, exploring the Gorges du Verdon from a true water perspective. Set in the spectacular landscapes of the Regional Nature Park, this lodge-based stay blends fun, immersion, and variety with four distinct aquatic activities.

🗺️ What to Expect

This Verdon River adventure trip is designed as a multi-activity journey where each day reveals a new way to connect with the canyon. You will alternate between guided sessions, where your instructor leads you through the most scenic and playful sections, and a self-guided day that lets you set your own pace on the lakes.
