A walk through a lovely little valley, with plenty of water, and the Pas de l’Escalette is steeped in history. The return route across the plateau offers sweeping views of the surrounding area.Moderator’s update as at 27 January 2021: some of the paths used on this route have disappeared. However, there is a yellow-marked trail in the area. See reviews from January 2021.

Departure from Saint-Félix-de-l'Héras (Hérault)
A pleasant hike in three stages. The first part crosses vast areas of pastureland, the second allows you to wander through a "lunar" landscape amid dolomitic rocks, and the third, in the undergrowth, runs alongside streams that you have to cross. This diversity of landscapes makes this hike easy and interesting.

Departure from Dio-et-Valquières (Hérault)
This route runs entirely within the Haut-Languedoc Regional Nature Park. Setting off from Dio, you look out over the Orb valley before rejoining the river at Lamalou-les-Bains after crossing its tributary, the Mare, via the Pont du Diable. At the foot of the Monts d’Orb, you can see the Montagne de l’Espinouse and the cliffs of the Caroux Plateau. The views of Dio Castle, the walk through purple-coloured rock formations and a visit to the medieval village of Boussagues make this walk a delight.
