Day 1: Colmars-les-Alpes

The path runs alongside the Lance torrent then it approaches the cliff: the folds of the superimposed benches of marly schist and limestone form an unstable frieze.

At the foot of the cliff, appears the rhythmic and dazzling spectacle of the Lance waterfall in a circus of dark rocks.

Observe, you may see the emblematic trout of the department!

Brown trout
In the waters of this torrent, as in the waters of the Verdon, there is an emblematic whitewater fish - brown trout or river trout.

With the multitude of small dots that mark its dress and its elusive character, the Mediterranean brown trout has remained the queen of the Verdon despite the construction of large dams which have removed two-thirds of what was once an exceptional watercourse. .

River trout move little by little, both for food and for reproduction, and do not migrate to and from a lake.
