Burzet – a very pretty village, with a paved slanting street leading up to the clock and the statue of the Virgin Mary

Walking The butter trails in Burzet

⚑Departure from Burzet (Ardèche)
From Burzet to Péreyres, paths lead down from the farms on the Ardèche plateau near the peatland-and-Goudoulet to the nearest town. The farmers of the plateau brought their butter and cheese to the markets. Here you will discover two types of paths: one designed for carts, the other for mules at best, but both were used for trade until the middle of the last century.

Superb trails and landscapes. Between Burzet and Les Sausses, on the left bank, the old Lachamp-Raphaël road is one of the most beautiful paved slanting streets in the Ardèche. On the right bank, on the way back, the old peatland road also has a wide, well-preserved paved slanting street under the chestnut trees and leads to the Roman road.

An easy walk that takes you to a stunning viewpoint overlooking Burzet and the Bourges valley. Best undertaken in spring when the broom is in bloom.

The Knoll of Chalembelle overlooks the Bourges valley. This route takes you there via a track running along the ridge. The track isn’t always easy to follow, but it offers magnificent views throughout of the whole of the Lower Ardèche and the edge of the Ardèche plateau.

Walking the Verrerie peat bog

⚑Departure from Burzet (Ardèche)
This lovely loop allows us to discover a section of the watershed on the heights of Burzet, at an altitude of 1,300 metres, which is very pleasant in summer when the valley is stifling. Along the way, we will discover a peat bog with the ruins of an old glassworks and the remains of a Strombolian crater.

Walking On the watershed, from Suc de la Pise to Sagnes and Goudoulet, which are peatlands

⚑Departure from Burzet (Ardèche)
A varied route, taking in shaded woods and wide open spaces. Best done in spring for the flowers, in summer for the cool air, and in autumn for the colours of the beech trees and the mushrooms. The paths are easy and signposted almost all the way, but be careful: a ford at La Cabanette can be tricky to cross if the water level is high.

Walking Ray Pic waterfalls starting from Péreyres

⚑Departure from Péreyres (Ardèche)
The volcanic natural site of the Cascades du Ray Pic was classified as a natural site in 1931. The Bourges river springs from the middle of the basalt flows and falls from a height of about 60 m. The proximity of various streams provides a certain coolness and even the opportunity to bathe.
