The Blanc-Martel trailhead

The Blanc-Martel trail is one of the must-sees when visiting the Verdon Gorges

The Blanc-Martel trail is one of the two trails along the Verdon, it links the Point Sublime to the Chalet de la Maline, a 5 hour hike at least! (in one direction only). You can of course retrace your steps whenever you want. Here we take the Blanc-Martel trail for a few hundred meters, which is enough to take in the sights. Note that the departure of the Blanc-Martel trail is easy to access by car and that it is the easiest point to reach the banks of the Verdon. Don't hesitate to discover this charming path.

The departure towards the gorges

There is no real parking, people park along the road, so think of arriving early in the morning if you don't want to be too far away.

Along the Blanc-Martel Trail

Even walking only 200 meters along the Blanc-Martel trail you will find beautiful scenery. It's up to you, but if you're not a seasoned hiker you'll have to retrace your steps to get back to your car. It is not possible to leave the gorge without walking for several hours! There is no loop possible.
