Explore the Ourbes ridge, the starting point of the rocky ridge that overlooks the right bank of the Verdon Gorge. The starting point is at the foot of the village (next to the motorhome area) at the intersection of the D952 and the path to Quinson.
Description
Descendez le chemin de Quinson et, tout de suite après le passage à gué, si vous le souhaitez, poursuivez tout droit et faites un aller-retour jusqu'à l'entrée de l'ancienne ferme fortifiée de l'Hert (propriété privée, dit "Château de la Reine Jeanne"), un lieu-dit de Moustiers.
Then pick up the GR®4 and begin the climb at the Maison du Parc du Verdon roundabout. You will begin a climb with a significant difference in altitude.
After this climb, you will follow the ridge to admire the surrounding view. The Crête de l'Ourbes marks the beginning of the rocky bar that runs along the right bank of the Verdon canyon.
The descent to the Vénascle plateau is along a fairly steep path. Then, from the hill, you will reach the village via the Courchon path, offering you a view of the Sainte-Croix lake.
