Cadières de Brandis, mountain
The Cadières de Brandis form a cliff face rising above the village of Castellane in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, characterized by vertical limestone flanks. The cliff makes up a prominent section of the mountain range and offers exposed rock walls popular with climbers.
The name comes from Provençal and refers to the steep rocks that have shaped the valley for centuries. The cliff once served as a landmark for travelers passing through the region.
The cliff is visible from Castellane and can be reached via trails that wind through scrubland and rocky terrain. Those visiting the area in summer should set out early in the morning to avoid the heat.
On certain days, birds of prey can be seen circling along the rock face, where they build their nests. The view from higher points extends deep into the valley and reveals the winding roads that snake through the mountains.
