Point Sublime

Directions

This is one of the most impressive viewpoints over the Verdon canyon, offering a direct look into its rugged cliffs and deep valleys. From here, you can fully appreciate the scale and raw beauty of the gorge without needing to hike far.

Located near the village of Rougon, Point Sublime also marks the starting point of the famous GR4 trail, which descends into the canyon. The path leads through dramatic rock formations and includes tunnels carved into the cliffs, making it one of the most memorable hiking experiences in the region.

Even if you don’t plan to hike, the viewpoint itself is worth the stop. You’ll often spot birds of prey circling above the gorge, adding to the wild atmosphere of the landscape.

👉 Local Tip: If you plan to hike the GR4 from here, bring a torch for the tunnels and wear proper hiking shoes. Also, arrive early to avoid crowds and secure parking, especially in peak season.
