The Maison des Guides du Verdon is primarily a story of friendship and passion. At some point in our lives, we all fell under the enchanting spell of this unique place. Together, we explore the many climbing routes, hiking trails, and spectacular canyons of the region year-round. Driven by a shared love for this territory, we are eager to share our "secret gardens" with you. Whether it's climbing, hiking, or canyoning, we look forward to showing you the wonders of the Verdon in a friendly and authentic atmosphere.
