Heel fraai landschap. Gereden vanuit Castellane. Stop bij Point Sublime is een must, je moet dan wel een stukje lopen.
Rondje om de Gorges du Berdon is een vijfsterrenervaring. Horeca in La Palud sur Verdon en Point Sublime.

Both sides of this small pass are very beautiful. On one side is Lac de Sainte Croix, on the other Point Sublime. This side is extremely easy. But the scenery is superb. A must-do!

Les deux versants de ce petit col sont très beaux. D’un côté, le lac de Sainte Croix, de l’autre, le Point Sublime. Ce versant est extrêmement facile. Mais, les paysages sont superbes. A faire !
