The shuttle only leaves from La Palud-sur-Verdon ("La Palud-sur-Verdon sud" stop). Due to a large number of hikers on the trail, we strongly recommend that you book beforehand. Booking closes every day at 6 pm. After booking has closed, the number of seats still available is displayed on the website until midnight and you can buy your ticket directly on board the bus (cash, credit card).
Morning one-way trip: La Palud-sur-Verdon sud → Chalet de la Maline (trailhead)
No return trip! This option does not include the Point sublime → La Palud-sur-Verdon return trip. You can take the regional coach service 450 or get there by your own means. Otherwise, choose the Round Trip.

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE - CHANGE TO THE BLANC-MARTEL TRAIL ROUTE
Following a rockfall affecting the Blanc-Martel trail, the municipality of Rougon has issued a municipal order temporarily prohibiting use of the section between the Couloir Samson exit (vehicle turnaround area) and Point Sublime (Visitor Center).
Hiking the Blanc-Martel trail is still possible.
An alternative route is in place to reach Point Sublime near the end of the trail (total duration remains unchanged):
➡️ from the Couloir Samson turnaround area, follow the RD23A departmental road;
➡️ then take the GR 49 trail to Point Sublime / Visitor Center.
⛔ For your safety, please respect the closure of the affected section and do not attempt to cross the area impacted by the rockfall.
