The Castillon dam was commissioned in 1948. With its 95 meters high and 200 meters wide, it is rather imposing! It also offers a great view of the Verdon.

May 21, 2024,Vom Lac du Chaudanne zum Lac de Castìllondann über Castellane zurück – Régional du Verdon

Beautiful tour with mega views of the dammed lakes, first we went along the lake on a small asphalt road, then the serpentines up the mountain at the top you have a great view

July 31, 2025,Tour du Sommet des Blaches depuis Castellane – Parc Naturel Régional du Verdon

Magnificent loop completed on electric bikes. The landscapes and views are magnificent and match the photos.
Be careful, the small path at the end of the route before the lake is uninteresting and blocked (carry the bike).
The last 200 meters are on a white, pebbly path.
