This Causse hike is divided into two distinct sections. The first, a very classic route, crosses the Cirque de Saint-Chély and leads to the charming village from which it takes its name, an iconic site in the Gorges du Tarn. The second, more original and far less frequented, climbs up onto the Causse Méjean to explore Mont Servy. This small, unjustly overlooked peak, rising to an altitude of 1,105 metres, offers an exceptional panorama that alone makes the entire route worthwhile.
