(S/E) Head north on the left-hand path (parallel to the snack bar). Begin a gentle, steady climb through well-maintained undergrowth leading to an intersection. Further up, at the edge of the woods, you will reach a crossroads.
(1) Important note: work is currently being carried out on the trail (when I completed the route on 14 July 2023). Therefore, follow the signs carefully and do not venture onto closed trails.
Follow the well-marked trail leading to the north face of Mont Mézenc, the highest point in the Haute Loire. Enjoy the wonderful 360° panorama.
(2) Descend south-east towards the south face of Mézenc. At the crossroads, turn right and you will soon reach the orientation table at the top of the south face, which is the highest point in the Ardèche. Here too, enjoy the wonderful 360° panorama.
(3) Continue left to reach asecond orientation table located near the paragliding launch area.
(3) Head north-west to return to Mont Mézenc Nord.
(2) Retrace your steps in the opposite direction until you return to the initial crossroads.
(1) Turn right into the woods and continue downhill to reach the Croix de Peccata crossroads. Here you will find theGR®7and 420 and theGRP® du Tour du Massif du Mézenc Gerbier de Jonc.
(4) Turn left, then keep left at the next crossroads and follow theGR®GRP® along the edge of the woods. Before the D631, turn left again to quickly reach the Croix de Boutières car park (S/E).
