Lamelouze walks

From the Peyraube tumulus, enter a landscape dating back to the Neolithic period and discover the Peyraube valat (a stream or torrent in the Cévennes language) and then the Vanmalle valat, immersing yourself in the Basses Cévennes and the maquis to end up in front of a Neolithic tomb, the Ron Traoucat (Roc Troué).

Thirteenth and final stage of a complete journey on the Chemin de Stevenson between Le Puy-en-Velay and Alès. This stage may involve significant changes to the GR®70 signposting, as Stevenson actually stopped at Saint-Jean-du-Gard on his journey. This last stage therefore allows you to return to a town where there are more means of communication to the starting point of the journey, while discovering the last foothills of the Cévennes.

A pleasant walk with some nice views. Can be done in summer as many sections are in the shade, but be careful on some stony sections.

A superb hike with beautiful views. A very difficult start on a large scree slope, then a gentle climb. Yellow markings a few times, then meeting the Stevenson Trail, then no more markings, then again, and a difficult finish for ankles and knees.

The Château de Portes is nicknamed the "ship of the Cévennes" as it overlooked the old Regordane Way, which pilgrims and crusaders used on their way to the Holy Land. Through the woods, this hike will introduce you to another, more recent past of the Cévennes: the mines, with the discovery of the Peyrerol tower and its inclined plane. 09/10/2023 Moderator's message: the route has been modified and shortened to avoid private sections between (3) and Le Tour.

In the heart of the Cévennes, a circuit along paved slanting streets and forest tracks, discovering the farmhouses and hamlets of the Camisards.

Short walk, about an hour, around Château de Portes. It's not difficult, the route is easily accessible, you just have to climb a little to reach the château.

This challenging loop starts at Col de Portes and descends to Peyremale via the beautiful medieval village of Le Puech. After Peyremale and Saint-Herm, the route climbs back up to higher ground, offering superb views of the meandering Luech river below, which you eventually reach and follow along the beautiful hamlet of Chareneuve, which seems cut off from the world.Follow the Luech to Martinet Neuf after Chambon. Take a path that climbs steeply to Dieusses. Towards the end of the climb, you can clearly see the Château de Portes on the other side of the Luech, which you will have to reach. You are now about halfway there.Descend towards Chamborigaud, with beautiful views of the viaduct, which the path passes under. After the Chamborigaud bridge, take the GR®700, which climbs up to the Col de Portes. This is the thousand-year-old Régordane path. Although it stays close to the road, which you cross in a few places, this road, which starts off as a road but later becomes a path, is very pleasant.

Stroll through the narrow streets of Les Puechs and Carnoulés, beautiful Cévennes hamlets, and discover panoramic views of the Cévennes with the scents of the heath, chestnut trees and green oak groves.. Be careful on rocky sections, which can be dangerous (3) and (6).

A walk to discover the hilltop hamlets of Saint-Sébastien-d'Aigrefeuille.

The first part of this hike takes you to the site of the old Carnoulès mines. The route then takes you up the slopes of the Amous valley and back along the river. The Amous, from its source to La Fabrègue, is superb: its crystal-clear waters wind through a wild valley, then its bed makes its way through more fertile land.

A beautiful loop in the Cévennes, 99% on trails. Varied terrain, diverse panoramas including the superb 360° view of Montcalm from the heights of Alès. For me, this is the most beautiful loop to do in less than 3 hours near Alès. There is only tarmac on the street where you park, and the terrain is very varied (pine and oak forests), with trails ranging from narrow, steep and technical to wide, open tracks, with fords, beautiful views and the most beautiful panorama in the area: it has everything!

An easy loop between chestnut groves and pine forests offering panoramic views of the Gardon de Saint-Jean valley, as far as Mont Aigoual and Mont Lozère. Yellow markings.

A lovely loop through the woods with several viewpoints.

La Vernarède is a small mining village between Portes and Chamborigaud. It's a lovely, easy walk with plenty of water points for our furry friends to drink from, at least in spring (in summer this may not be the case). The trail stretches under the pine trees and a few chestnut trees and runs alongside the Broussous stream. Numerous flowers dot the water sources, such as magnificent columbines and daisies.

A circuit that goes upstream along the Gardon de Mialet from Mas Soubeyran and passing the beautiful village of Mialet. This itinerary allows you to follow the river closely, with its meadows and bridges, but also to explore the slopes of the valley and to discover the beautiful hamlet of Aïgladines.
