Practical information
The Point Sublime route is definitely the most technical you can find in the Gorges du Verdon. A 14km descent, way more demanding than the Initiation route. The whole intinerary takes approx. 3 hours to complete. The canyon ends at the entrance of the famous Couloir Samson, at the foot of Point Sublime. This route is not for beginners, but is great for expert adventurous people. The rapids are powerful, some section are class III+!!
You must be able to swim autonomously for at least 50m and to be submerged in water.
The canyon is demanding and is best for people who are fit and are not afraid of heights.
Please note the starting times change according to the season:
- May, June, and September: 9:30 am & 2 pm
- July and August: 3:15 pm
