The canyon is approximately 25 kilometers long and up to 700 meters deep, and it attracts millions of visitors each year for its stunning scenery and outdoor recreation opportunities. Activities such as kayaking, rafting, hiking, and climbing are popular in the Verdon Gorge, and visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the canyon from several viewpoints along the rim.
