Gorges d'Oppedette

Highlight • Gorge

Following the uplift of the Lure mountain, it was the Calavon river that shaped these magnificent gorges. The word Calavon means stone river. The watercourse is indeed often dry, leaving only a river of stones.

The hike is not easy, as stated by Komoot, but extremely demanding. Steep climbs in and out of the gorge require a head for heights, sure-footedness and a certain level of fitness. Nevertheless, or maybe because of that, we enjoyed the tour!
