From the plateau to the river, this short and fairly easy route will also allow you to discover the vegetation of the gorges, notably the Phoenician juniper.

This beautiful 9 km hike will take you to the banks of the Ardèche, in the heart of the canyon. A hike with handrails and ladders along the route. Swimming is allowed and irresistible. The descent through the Combe des Champs will be long, but you will be amazed when you arrive in the canyon. A significant elevation gain of -500 / + 500 will make this hike difficult, but the trails are well marked and protected.

A very beautiful hike allowing you to discover a karstic cave, dolmens, rock shelters and magnificent arches. Update on 20 February 2025. Following Jacba's comments on 19 February, for which I am very grateful, I would like to make an update that will make this hike less difficult and more enjoyable. At (10), take the path on the left, which is clearly marked in yellow. This good path joins the one that leads to (13). Take it on the right to make a round trip to the Arches du Morgue. Retrace your steps and continue on the initial trail of this hike, passing through (14) and (15).

A walk amid holm oaks along the capricious Ibie river, whose water doesn’t always flow overground.

From the banks of Ardèche, to the balconies of Salavas, but fairly challenging in the bed of Rieussec. There are stringing points. ATTENTION: Some sections can quickly become very dangerous for hikers who are ill-equipped or not trained for this kind of more technical hike. Therefore, please take care.
