The climb to the summit of Destourbes is progressive and offers a succession of panoramas on the reservoir of Chaudanne.
From the parking lot of the Boudousque cross the Verdon by the bridge of the Roc, follow the D4085 for 50m on the left, in direction of Grasse.
1- Cross the D4085 and climb the path opposite in the forest towards the summit of Destourbes. The trail rises windingly and gradually under the pines. Several passages are still walled. The road is well marked. Reach and cross a forest trail above. Climb on the wide, winding path in the northeast slope of the mountain. A further kilometer will find an end-of-trail turn-around area.
2- Take the trail above and go back down slightly. Follow a long crossing. Continue the ascent through a series of turns before going to the ridge. Follow it towards the summit (grand cairn). Follow the markup!
3- Arriving at point 3, return to the starting point by the same route.

The summit of Destourbes is the privileged summit of the Castellanais. The hike is largely covered in the forest. The reward is at the end of this climb which culminates at 1543m, bringing together the main heights of the region. Its ascent back and forth also allows time to visit the town of Castellane.
