To get to the start, coming from Burzet, leave your car in the car park specially provided for hikers, on the side of the road between the hamlet of Le Chambon and Péreyres.
(S/E) Cross the road and take the path opposite the car park, which climbs towards the village of Péreyres. At the top of the path, cross the road again and take the stairs leading to the church. Go around the church on the right and take another set of stairs to reach Rue de la Mairie. Continue left along this street until you reach the edge of the village, then continue along a path for a few metres.
(1) At the fork, take the shaded path on the right (GRP® de la Haute Cévenne d'Ardèche - yellow and red markings) which winds its way above the La Bourges river. Cross the Ruisseau de l'Ufernet via a wooden bridge, then a few fords using large stones, and join the Ray Pic road (D215).
(2) Turn left, follow the D215 road, pass the hamlet of Le Chabron and continue along the road until you reach the entrance to a bridge over the La Bourges river.
(3) Leave theGRP® trail, which branches off to the left, and cross the bridge over La Bourges.
You can swim in the Ruisseau du Pas de Fer waterfall before crossing the bridge.
(4) At the end of the bridge, immediately turn left onto a path that climbs steeply up the mountainside (yellow markings) to join the road at the entrance to the Cascades du Ray Pic site.
(5) Enter the Cascades du Ray Pic site and continue along the path (numerous steps). On the way, stop at the viewpoint on the left.
(6) Ignore the path that descends to the left (which you will take on the way back) and continue to the upper viewpoint.
(7) At the upper viewpoint, admire the main waterfall, then turn back to the previous fork.
(6) Take the path down to the right and head to the lower viewpoint.
(8) From the lower viewpoint, admire the main waterfall up close, as well as the secondary waterfall on the right.
Return to the car park by following the same route in reverse (S/E).
