Sainte-Victoire from the Aurigon car park near Le Tholonet
A magnificent hike following the closure of the Bimont dam for over a year during the week. Superb views, to be enjoyed clockwise as you climb towards the Bimont dam.

The Pont du Gard and the Roman aqueduct
One of the most beautiful hikes to discover the tunnel (where the water flowed from Uzès to Nîmes), the Pont du Gard, and the remains of the Roman aqueduct.
Cirque de Moureze via Mont Liausson
A very beautiful hike with stunning views of Lake Salagou on one side and the Cirque de Mouréze on the other, as well as magnificent views of the Cévennes and the Mediterranean.
Hike modified on 11/05/2023 with Hérault Tourisme. See practical information.
This hike may be prohibited depending on the fire risk level. Remember to check the map.
Meadows (les) du Cailar
Discover an authentic Camargue village with its customs and the statue of a bull ("Le Sanglier") at the entrance to the village of Le Cailar! A great, very short but very green hike through the meadows, with just a little bit of tarmac. Redone in January 2025, still as enjoyable as ever.
The sharp limestone pavements of Saint-Jean-de Buèges
This is a magnificent hike in the hills above Saint-Jean-de-Buèges and its valley. The village is worth exploring on the way back. The Buèges valley is well worth a visit. We enjoyed repeating this hike in January 2025. Cold weather but bright sunshine. No notable changes except for a new muddy patch at point 6 and the absence of the pierced rock at point 5. The hike is almost entirely on a balcony, so you'll be in the sun.
Lac de l'Oule and Lac Inférieur du Bastan
Discover the Néouvielle Reserve. This hike offers superb views of the lakes and the opportunity to climb up to the Bastan refuge (allow an extra 1½ hours for the round trip).
Aigues-Mortes to Marsillagues Mountain biking along the banks of the Canal and the Vidourle
A superb, easy and very pleasant mountain bike ride with numerous herds of Camargue horses and bulls.
Pic du Canigou - Los Masos at the Refuge des Cortalets
First stage of this two-day route around Pic du Canigou.
Pic du Canigou - From the Cortalets Refuge to Los Masos
This is the continuation of the Pic du Canigou - Los Masos hike from the Refuge des Cortalets. It passes through the Crêtes du Barbet, the Portella de Vallmanya, the Brèche Durier, the Pic del Canigó, the Refuge des Cortalets and ends at Los Masos.
Pass through the chimney as the yellow markings have been erased - path closed (not recommended).
See practical information below.
The Pic du Canigou from Los Masos
This is a 2- or 3-day hike, starting from Los Masos, the Cortalets Refuge, the Crêtes du Barbet, the Portella de Valmanya, the Brèche Durier, the Pic du Canigou, the Pic Joffre, and the Cortalets Refuge (where you can stop before descending to Los Masos).
The Camargue between ponds, marshes and canals
A beautiful hike between "two waters" in the heart of the Camargue.
Ponds, marshes, the Rhône Canal in Sète, the Philippe Lamour Canal, horses, bulls... everything that makes up the Camargue is brought together on a magnificent circuit with no difficulty other than its length.
Gallician - Prés du Cailar - Banks of the Vistre
A beautiful outing between the Rhône Canal in Sète, Les Fruitiers and Les Costières, as well as the meadows where Camargue horses and bulls live peacefully.
The Balcons de la Têt and the Yellow Train
A climb on the Train Jaune from Fontpédrouse to La Cabanasse, followed by a beautiful, tree-lined descent along the River Têt.A lovely walk, partly through the forest; this is a different route from La Cabanasse to Planès suggested by PO Express, with the chance to find a few porcini mushrooms depending on the season, and to pass under the Gisclard Bridge, a true engineering marvel for its time.
The Oppidum of Nages
A walk to discover a superb oppidum, with a wonderful view of the Vaunage valley, the source of the Ranquet and the Serre de la Font.
Around Mialet in the Cévennes
A superb hike with beautiful views. A very difficult start on a large scree slope, then a gentle climb. Yellow markings a few times, then meeting the Stevenson Trail, then no more markings, then again, and a difficult finish for ankles and knees.
Between the canals and the Camargue, starting from Aigues-Mortes
A leisurely mountain bike ride along wide paths with a short stretch on the road.
The route follows the Rhône Canal at Sète, then the Lunel Canal with its picturesque huts, before returning via various mas (old farmhouses) to reach Saint-Laurent-d’Aigouze and follow the Vidourle river to Aigues-Mortes.
The Rhône Canal and the Château d'Espeyran in Saint-Gilles.
A short, peaceful walk along the Rhône Canal in Sète, from the port and back through the meadows.
The meadows of Le Cailar
A short half-day hike to breathe in and enjoy the Camargue and its treasures: horses, bulls, herons, storks, etc.
As "denisdenim" points out, there is an alternative route to avoid the road at point 1: cross it and take the small road that passes by the Mas du Bourry farmhouse, keeping to the right to rejoin the main road and descend towards point 2.
Cilaos le Bloc - Dufour Refuge
A gruelling 4-hour climb over log steps or very slippery boulders leading to the Refuge de la Caverne Dufour.
Refuge Dufour – Piton des Neiges – Hell Bourg
A gruelling hike (in terms of duration), with a night-time ascent of Piton des Neiges to watch the sunrise, a return to the refuge to collect your rucksack, then a descent to Hell Bourg. Consider spending a day in Hell Bourg and visiting the ancient thermal baths.
Lac de Cécélés circular starting from Saint-Mathieu-de-Tréviers
A beautiful hike with no difficulty except for the distance, with superb views of the Hortus, the Pic Saint-Loup and, above all, Lac de Cécélés at the start. The hike is classified as moderate because of the first descent into the forest, or rather into a stream bed, followed by a short climb after the point (6).
Montaña Negra-Tinajo-Lanzarote
After circling the Montaña de Lapas o del Cuervo volcano, a short climb up to Montaña Negra, opposite, for a 360° view.
Le Cailar, the banks of the Philippe Lamour Canal and the Gallician fruit trees.
A beautiful walk to discover the banks of the Philippe Lamour Canal and the orchards (peach trees, almond trees, vines). Always in the sun, it is the ideal walk for sunny winter days.
Mount Arrokagaray from Itxassou
A pleasant little walk that’s the perfect way to get back into the swing of things.
Peña d'Itsusi and vultures
A hike that is different from the Peñas d'Itsusi from the Col de Mehatze, which closely follows the cliffs where vultures nest and continues on to views of the ocean and the Pic d'Iguzki (which can be climbed without difficulty).
Visorando app recommended
Jaizkibel via the Paramoudras
Starting from Guadalupe Chapel, enjoy a magnificent hike along the coast with its strange rocks carved out by the sea over millions of years! Then climb back up towards Jaïkibel to discover the coast from above.
