Departure from Valleraugue (Gard)
For experienced hikers, here is a 40 km loop starting from Valleraugue and reaching Aigoual via the famous 4,000 steps. It descends to Lac du Bonheur near Camprieu, then climbs back up to Espérou and ends along the ridges facing Mont Aigoual, which you will have discovered a few hours earlier.
This hike is not technically difficult but is very long with some steep sections and requires good stamina.
