Although classified as moderate, this hike is actually difficult, with continuous steep, stony or rocky slopes.

A beautiful hike with superb views. There is a steep section before reaching the summit of Mount Liausson.
A must-do! Well shaded and nice refreshment bar in Mourèze

A beautiful lake that reminded me of Serre-Ponçon (even if the mountains are less prominent ;-) )!
It was scorching hot at the end of June :-o
A nice little climb at the start and a beautiful descent down a wide rocky gully at the beginning.
After that, the average gradient is closer to the average for the rest of the route until you reach the little village of Mourèze.
You can stop for a drink in the picturesque village of Mourèze :-)
There was a lot of wind throughout the hike! It picks up just when you think you're sheltered :-)
In the end, as there are a lot of flat sections (at the start, in the village and at the summit, among others), the elevation gain is quite unevenly distributed.
Although the climb to the Cirque de Mourèze is fairly gradual, I found the climb to Mont Liausson quite difficult, especially as it was at the end of the hike (170 m elevation gain over a short distance). The extreme heat didn't really help us recover easily (we set off with 2.5 litres of water).
A magnificent view of Lake Salagou awaits us at the top.
There were a few steep sections on rocky ground on the way down.
Honestly, it was very beautiful!
We also saw a rocky chaos that reminded me of Montpellier-le-Vieux, albeit on a smaller scale, as the other site is impressive.

Great hike, and with the app, it's impossible to get lost.

Superb hike with a 360° panorama near the ruins of the hermitage. Crossing the Cirque de Mourèze was truly magnificent, arriving at the beautiful village of Mourèze for our lunch break. Then, climbing up the cirque, a steep climb to earn the 360° view of the Salagou lake. Descending towards Liausson, the view of the lake from the church square is also nice, with a geological frieze at bench level.

We didn't follow the route exactly. We started from Mourèze to limit the distance and elevation gain and avoid climbing up and down. The scenery is truly fantastic. And the (shortened) loop on the Mourièze side is well worth the effort. Be sure to wear good shoes for the steep climbs and descents. We'll be back!

Perhaps a little complicated for some people who are new to hiking
But the view is well worth the effort. A wonderful place.

A very beautiful route offering stunning views of Salagou and Cirque de Moureze.
I didn't encounter many people, probably because it was outside the holiday season. Perhaps there were a few more visitors in the Cirque.
In summer, the sunshine and heat must certainly make the route more difficult.
The climb to point 5 (+-200m) is quite tough on the legs.
Make sure you wear good shoes.

A lovely hike with varied landscapes
The average difficulty corresponds to the route as a whole. Only the 200-metre climb is challenging.
Very well signposted
avoid doing this hike in summer as the sun is very strong. Bring water with you
arrive early, otherwise the car park will be full; there are about fifteen spaces available

a beautiful hike that is a bit short, doable in 3 hours and 15 minutes.

I got the following comment from one of the hikers: "Your hike is already quite challenging. It's only rated as moderate, but that's good for you, given your fitness level..."
This applies to the slope of the climb, which is a bit long, it's true...
There are always more people on the Mourèze side. I don't go to Mont Liausson when there are lots of tourists!
My friends who came walking this time really enjoyed the landscapes and the diversity of the environments and atmospheres we encountered.

like all the walks on your website, the signposting and explanations aren't great
if you want me to subscribe, you'll need to improve your maps and explanations
even on hikes I know by heart, your app leaves me in doubt
however, the hike I was able to do by following the yellow signs was great, with a view of Lake Salagou. Magnificent
It's rated as moderate, but I would have rated it average or even difficult because the climb is tough, and for those who take it in the other direction, the climb becomes a descent, which is very difficult and even dangerous.

Superb hike in an exceptional location. The views are remarkable. The weather is ideal in early May!
The guidance is perfect and easy to follow. No difficulty with orientation.
One point to note, however. This hike is classified as "moderate" but it requires real training as it is quite physical with some fairly steep slopes and even (rarely) difficult sections where you need to use your hands.
