The Verdon Gorges remain accessible and as spectacular as ever - Updated April 14, 2026

Tuesday 14 April 2026

Despite a recent landslide, many iconic sites in the Verdon Gorges remain open and continue to offer exceptional views of the Verdon Gorges

- On the Aiguines side, you can still access the magnificent Col d’Illoire, a must-see viewpoint overlooking the gorges

Temporary closure of the Corniche Sublime (D71 road)

Following this landslide, the Left Bank of the Verdon (D71 road) is closed to traffic from March 30th to June 30th to ensure everyone’s safety.

Rock removal work on the cliff face is necessary before the road surface can be repaired. The purpose of this work is to remove unstable rocks and prevent any further risk of rockfalls.

Closure details

• From Aiguines: closure at the Col d’Illoire viewpoint
• From Trigance: closure just past the Le Grand Canyon hotel-restaurant, at Les Cavaliers

Due to rock-clearing operations, the area must be completely secured.

The Col d’Illoire hike will therefore be closed in both directions starting April 14, as it is located within the rockfall zone.

A wonderful opportunity to (re)discover the Verdon in a new way

Even with this temporary closure, the Verdon remains an exceptional destination. It’s the perfect opportunity to take your time, explore new viewpoints, and fully enjoy nature

We will keep you updated on how the situation develops and when access will be restored.
