At the beginning of autumn, the leaves gradually fall from the trees and it’s back to school for some. For others, it’s time to treat yourself, to allow yourself a few moments of relaxation and discovery. To have a wonderful fall, I present to you some activities that you might like.
Take a boat trip in the Verdon gorges
Between the Prealps of Digne and those of Castellane are the Verdon gorges. Essentially made up of rocks and crystal blue water, the Verdon gorges are a marvel for the eyes. You can learn more on the essential activities to do in the Verdon gorges by consulting travel advice blogs.
There are many activities to practice, namely:
- swimming in the warm waters of the gorges;
- discovering the places aboard a boat or kayak;
- water sports in the Verdon gorges.
However, the activity that will allow you to benefit from the heavenly view of the Verdon gorges is the boat. On board this ship, you will be able to sail on waters from the freshest to the wildest.
Take a hike on the heights of Lake Achard in Chamrousse
In autumn, at Lake Achard in Chamrousse, the leaves of the trees offer a landscape rich in color. These leaves turn from bright orange to burgundy red. It’s the perfect time to take a short walk in the mountains for two.
To reach the heights of the mountain, a hiking circuit has been prepared at the Chamrousse resort in Isère. This is where you should start. The path that leads to the summit passes through a forest and offers you an overview of the Taillefer massif. Once at the top, a sublime view awaits you. This is an activity to do as a couple or in a group. Don’t forget your camera for great shots at the summit.
Tour the Ardèche by kayak
If you are in Ardèche, there are a multitude of things to do and see. Especially exploring the Pont d’Arc, one of the most famous spots in this region. 500,000 years old and more, the great rock arch is very visited by tourists. This spot is accessible by car, kayak and on foot. But it is only aboard the canoe that you will appreciate the activity in all its forms. Several kayak routes allow you to pass under the rock arch.
Is it possible to swim in the big river? Obviously, the gorges offer several swimming spots. Also, you can go down the river in your kayak.
Go rafting or canyoning in the Verdon gorges
Do you want to do an intense activity during the fall? In the Verdon gorges, I suggest you practice rafting or canyoning. Rafting is a sport which consists of going down fast-moving rivers aboard an inflatable raft, while canyoning is a leisure activity which allows you to go up the bed of a river crossing narrow small valleys and gorges.
The waters in the Verdon gorges are very fierce. This strength in the wild offersexcellent courses for both sports. Also, several sites are prepared to give you a unique experience.
