To get to the start point at the Col d’Aizac, head to the hamlet of Roux via the Chemin des Auches and park at the side of the road.
(S/E) Take the signposted path, which resembles a stream bed, and head uphill. Pass through a chestnut wood and, just before a stone building, you’ll reach a fork in the path.
(1) Continue climbing along the path on the left (marker on the tree, see photo) and you’ll soon emerge onto an open view with beautiful rocks on the ground, revealing the first stretch of heathland overlooking the Volane valley. Cross a woodland and arrive at a small gate and a grassy path.
(2) Continue uphill to the left and cross a second heathland area of broom (l’Huguenot) until you reach the next marker (Pargeades marker).
(3) Take the steep path on the right (easier to tackle on the way up) and arrive at a flat area.
(4) Carry on along the path which leads through a field of boulders to the Col de Rouyon (Faux-Fays marker).
(5) Enjoy the stunning view over the Ardèche Cévennes, then take the path leading down to the left. Carry on until you rejoin the route you took earlier (Pargeades signpost).
(3) Follow the path back the way you came and return to the hamlet of Roux (S/E).
