What level of experience do I need to have to river ride the Gorges du Verdon?
Never go off on your own: a professional guide is essential for the upper and middle Verdon. In all cases, we’ll take care of the equipment and logistics for your expedition. This is a ‘Moderate’ difficulty trip, which means you need to be a bit sporty to be able to string together activities over several days. Read our descriptions carefully and call us if you have any questions.
Which swimming skills and physical shape is necessary?
Being able to swim is mandatory (at least 25 meters and being able to put your head under water). To participate to this trip, you need to be in good physical shape, but no canoeing skills are required.
Where to stay?
We have specific dates for this trip. You can book according to availability. We’ll book accommodation for you in a picturesque location in the heart of nature, close to the Gorges du Verdon. We will do our best to ensure that you have a private room, but in the rare cases where this is not possible, we will provide comfortable dormitories adapted to your group. For people travelling alone, we group participants together in shared rooms. Sheets and blankets are provided, but please bring your own towels and toiletries.
Meals during your stay?
This trip is on a half-board basis. You can start your day with a delicious breakfast prepared just for you, and finish it with a nice dinner (included in your package). For lunch, you are free to explore the surrounding area and taste the local specialities in the nearby restaurants, or order a picnic through the lodger.
How do I register?
You can register online by paying a deposit of 30% of the total cost of the holiday. Our teams will send you a payment link for the balance on D-15.
What are the safety conditions for this holiday?
When you register, you must confirm your age, fitness and level of sporting ability.
Your guide may consider that you obviously do not have the necessary level to carry out the activity. Your guides and Verdon Voyages will provide all the safety equipment and materials needed for the descent. The activities are supervised by a state-certified guide. Only the canoeing day in the Gorges du Verdon is self-guided.
What to do in the event of bad weather or poor conditions?
The activities you are about to undertake depend on the flow of water in the Verdon and the risk of bad weather. Verdon Voyages or your guide may therefore decide to cancel or modify part of the activity. Such cancellations are rare. Similarly, unforeseen violent winds may lead the guide to cancel the activity for safety reasons.
In this case, we will propose a replacement activity depending on the weather or water flow conditions. However, if no replacement activity is possible, we will compensate you with part of the price of the holiday.
What are the cancellation conditions?
Before D-60: a handling fee of 50 euros will be deducted.
Between D-60 and D-8: the deposit paid at the time of booking will be retained.
After D-7: no refund will be made in the event of cancellation.
We therefore encourage you to plan your stay carefully and take all the necessary precautions to avoid any unforeseen cancellations.
