The total length of the river is 49.3 kilometres (30.6 mi).[1]
The source of the Loup is north of the mountain of Audibergue in the municipality of Andon, a small town in the Alpes-Maritimes situated at nearly 1,200 meters (3,900 ft) above sea level and surrounded by small ski resorts.
The stream first turns east, then turns south and forms the Gorges du Loup, a series of gorges. After passing Bar-sur-Loup, it resumes its course towards the east, passes south of the city of Vence, then moves towards the south-east and arrives at Villeneuve-Loubet.
The gorge is a popular climbing area with several high-level routes, with at least 22 routes above the grade 5.14 (8c/+).[4] According to UKClimbing the gorge offers a total of 451 routes set in the French limestone.[5] The first free route in the gorge was Déversé Satanique, opened by Bernard Duterte in the mid-1980s. Now graded 8a+ (5.13c).[6]
