Pic de Saint-Guiral and Lac des Pises
A magnificent circular route in the southern Cévennes for experienced hikers, offering a wide variety of biotopes and panoramic views.
Gorse, beech forests, pine forests and grassy plains await you, dotted with streams and lakes.
Discover Pic Saint-Guiral, a pyramid-shaped rock on the grass, as well as Lac des Pises and its astronomical observatory.

Cirque de Navacelles
A spectacular cirque with breathtaking views.
Saint-Guiral from the Col de l'Homme Mort
Saint-Guiral, the legendary rock of the Aigoual massif, can be reached from the Col de l'Homme Mort. The first part overlooks the upper Vis valley. The view stretches from Pic d'Anjau to the whole of Séranne. From the summit of Saint-Guiral, you can enjoy a 360° view. But you'll need to climb with your hands!
In the second part, the trail is off the beaten track and runs alongside the charming Crouzoulous stream. It will take you to the beautiful abandoned farm of Grandesc Haute, lost in the forest.
Corniche de la Vis starting from Blandas
From the cliff top, there is an exceptional view over the Cirque de Navacelles.
The Blandas plateau is at an average altitude of 700 metres, offering unobstructed views of the surrounding region. The vegetation is constantly changing, with black pines, cedars, box trees and meadows. This plateau also conceals many prehistoric remains.
From Saint-Jean du Bruel to Sauclières
Hike along the old railway line with its engineering structures and the picturesque village of Sauclières.
Château d'Algues via Fougayrolles
Several paths connect Saint-Jean-du-Bruel to Algues, the former stronghold of the Roquefeuil family overlooking the Dourbie valley. This is an easy 7km route with a moderate incline, ideal for a leisurely stroll.
Notre-Dame de la Sentinelle
A short hike takes you to an ancient place of procession where you can enjoy the view over Saint-Jean-du-Bruel.

Former calamine furnaces, the Œil de Bœuf and the Tombeau du Géant on the Causse Bégon. Step back in time from the industrial era to prehistory.

The Cirque de Navacelles
This walk takes place entirely within the "Les Causses et les Cévennes" site, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From Navacelles, you climb up the Gorges de la Vis to its resurgence. After visiting the Moulins de la Foux, the return journey halfway up the southern slope of the Causse de Blandas offers spectacular views of the Gorges de la Vis and the Cirque de Navacelles.
You have to walk in the Cirque de Navacelles at least once in your life, that's all there is to it! Don't think twice: just go!
The Cirque de Vissec and the Mills of La Foux
A beautiful hike in a magnificent setting, with one of the most beautiful cirques in the region and the resurgence of the Vis.
Navacelles Cirque and Moulins de la Foux
A fairly conventional circuit that lets walkers admire the Cirque de Navacelles and hike in the gorges of La Vis. The ruins of the Moulins de la Foux are the ultimate goal of the hike, with beautiful explanations of these water mills and on the underground portion of the screw, not yet fully explored.
