Verdon Gorge, one of Europe's most stunning river canyons, offers breathtaking views and a variety of outdoor activities. Hiking, rock climbing, paragliding, and water sports like kayaking and rafting are popular. Accessibility varies; some viewpoints are easily reached by car, while trails range from easy to challenging. A solo visit allows for flexibility, but a guided tour is recommended for activities like canyoning or rock climbing, especially for beginners. The best time to visit is during the shoulder seasons (spring and fall) to avoid crowds and extreme temperatures; some roads and trails may be closed in winter due to snow. Costs depend on activities, ranging from free for hiking to significant expenses for guided adventures. A typical visit lasts 1-3 days to fully appreciate the area, with driving along the scenic Route des Crêtes being a highlight.
