A magnificent trail through the Cévennes, with steep paths that roam through broom and across rivers, and sumptuous panoramas.

trail

You start with a downhill section of about 4km on narrow and sometimes rocky paths – some peatbogs too, but nothing too technical. You will go through several cattle barriers, please remember to close them properly.
Once you have forked onto the GR ®68 long-distance hiking path, there is a bit of a climb, but the splendid panoramic views over the Cévennes more than make up for your efforts. The trail ends with 2 km of level ground on a pretty forest track.
A longer version, waymarked 20, lets you carry on to the impressive Le Trenze cliffs (18 km).

Follow the waymarks for trail #20v.
