This hike, starting from Saint-Gervais-sur-Mare, has the advantage of taking you to the Portail de Roquandouire via a short out-and-back route, whilst avoiding the climbs up to the Serre de More and the ridge section. It takes you through the hamlets of Compeyre and Cours le Haut, before starting a circular route that offers a glimpse of the ruined castle of Nébuzon and leads to the start of a track. We will briefly leave this track to follow a balcony path on a short round trip to the foot of the Portail de Roquandouire. The return to Saint-Gervais-sur-Mare will be downhill via theGRP®. It is a lovely hike offering beautiful views. The most physically demanding part will be completed in the morning before the lunch break.

From Poujol-sur-Orb to the Forêt Domaniale des Écrivains Combattants, with ascents via the Croix des Baussels, Combes and theGR®7, and a descent through the village of Le Vernet and then La Borie Basse.

The route can be described as moderately difficult. After a short warm-up stretch through the Forêt des Écrivains Combattants to a megalithic tomb, then crossing the hamlet of Madale, this circular route continues around the Serre de la Cabrière via a track that turns into a balcony path offering beautiful views of the Madale and Colombières Gorges and the Moulin de la Fage.

This beautiful hike starts from the hamlet of Auziale and offers stunning 360° views (from Roc de l'Ourliades) and passes through a magnificent forest, sheltered from the wind all year round. The return journey is downhill, via a track and small paths marked in yellow to the right of it.

A circular route, not too difficult, starting from Fontfroide Abbey offering lovely views. The route is varied as it follows paths that are sometimes stony, tracks, and also a section of the Via Domitia. All in all, a short hike that is a bit of a workout in places but remains enjoyable.

A very pretty, unmarked hike, taking paths and trails that sometimes run along the hillside and reveal varied landscapes, including the remains of mining activity, in the hinterland of western Hérault. There are a series of ascents and descents, but they do not require significant physical effort. It is a complete change of scenery for hikers looking for diversity.

This route offers beautiful views and allows you to discover the Sentier des Capitelles before reaching the Chapel of Notre-Dame de Nazareth via a Way of the Cross. The return journey follows the GRP®, then unmarked paths in places and a short stretch of road before turning off via the Guitardes plateau, following the Combelongue stream.We recommend using the Visorando app or a hiking GPS.Avoid hiking on hunting days or after heavy rain.

This hike follows paths and tracks that often cross heaths before reaching a pretty forest overlooking the Domaine de la Ricardelle. The route then runs parallel (via an uphill path) to the Chemin de la Couleuvre, allowing you to reach the antennas and enjoy a beautiful view. The return journey, which begins in the direction of the Domaine du Puech Redon, follows paths and tracks once again.This route is largely unmarked but well known to hikers as it follows a path that passes close to the cave, dominated by a statue of the Virgin of Cruque erected in 1915, and other routes in La Clape, fairly close to Notre-Dame-des-Auzils.

This varied route takes you first to the pretty hamlet of Torteillan, a true haven of peace, then, after a short climb under oak and chestnut trees, to the village of Combes. The route then follows a path leading to the Col des Princes, which rises to 588 m and is well known to cyclists. Via tracks, paths and trails, it leads to the (ruined) Chapel of Saint-Vital and the Roc de Bessède, where you can enjoy a magnificent view, at an altitude of 573 m, of the surrounding mountains and the villages of L'Horte and Taussac below.

This unique hike offers beautiful views through the heaths and at the foot of the La Clape cliffs in good weather. However, it does present a number of challenges: stony paths, rocky trails that sometimes tend to close in, two ditches to cross, a stone wall to climb at one point, then descend with caution, before returning to more pleasant paths and tracks at the end of the route. Finally, this is an unmarked route for which the use of the Visorando app or a GPS is recommended.
