From up here, you can make out the waterfall at Runes, Miral Castle, the hillocks of Les Bondons, standing stones, the Lozerette waterfall and, on the opposite slope, the hamlets of Le Cros and Les Bondons.

Incredible views over the valleys between Bédouès and the foothills of Mont Lozère – you will never tire of them !

Take the road downhill and, at the first crossroads, turn right onto the road that goes uphill to Chabrières.


  1. In Chabrières follow the track uphill to the reservoir to the foot of the hillock.

  2. Walk around Le Puech on the left and, by the water trough, veer slightly left to cross the field and reach the stile, which you use to get over the fence.

  3. Turn right onto the track for 1 km. At the junction, turn right and immediately go right to reach the plateau edge.

  4. To the left of the rock, take a small path on the left downhill to the village of Ruas.

  5. By the iron cross, the old path has become too overgrown; walk just below it to a ravine. By the stone cross, follow the path that runs alongside the brook on the left to reach the village.

  6. At the road, turn right to return to the starting-point.



Parking : Between Ruas and the Chabrières junction, on the verge (park diagonally).
Area : Cévennes et Mont Lozère
