The ochres of Mormoiron and the Sitos ravine

I should have read the reviews before going on the hike, rather than relying solely on the photos! As mentioned in the previous reviews, the photos – and even the name of the hike – can be misleading.
The route is still nice, but don’t expect to see the rocks shown in the photos... apart from the ochre-coloured beach by the lake at the start.

Like the previous hikers, we did not see the ochre cliffs. It would be advisable to change the title of the hike and remove the photos that do not correspond to it, as this is misleading when choosing.
Nevertheless, this hike is still very enjoyable for those who only have two hours to spare.

The route is pleasant and picturesque, and we never lost track of it on the GPS. Despite this, we never saw the ochre cliffs... The photos are not contractual! The hikers we met also did not find what they had come to see on this hike.

We chose this route to see the ochre cliffs, but apart from a small quarry at the start of the hike (a short detour from the main path), we didn't see any ochre! We met several other hikers who shared our disappointment...
We followed the GPS track, so there were no mistakes in the route.
So, if you choose this hike for the beautiful photos shown in the hike description, look elsewhere...

Poorly signposted during the hike. You need to follow the GPS app and the directions in the "details" section carefully, paying close attention to junctions to avoid getting lost. The ochre colours are particularly noticeable along the tree-top adventure course. A beautiful hike with stunning views of Mont Ventoux.

A very pleasant hike with very few people. I did it with my dog, so there's no reason not to take your dog along.
The route is a bit vague in places, but you can still find your way.
The explanations in the Details section regarding the description and numbers of points of interest seemed a little vague to me, so I recommend relying mainly on the route and the marked paths on the ground, which are clear enough that you won't get lost.

The route is interesting, but the map sometimes does not follow the actual paths and shows roads that do not exist. You need to check several times before setting off.

A lovely walk to discover the ochre of Mormoiron. As pretty as Rousillon, but without the tourists!

Thank you
There's a rather anti-social landlord who doesn't like to see people.
He tries to dissuade us with the signs but if you follow the published plan, you risk nothing
Too bad about this abandoned car
Have a nice walk

Hello. Accompanied by a young child, we decided to head straight for the Sitos ravine. Two things caught our attention.
Just before descending into the ravine, a fairly large boat hull and numerous car parts littered the ground over several dozen square metres.
The second point was the presence of numerous signs forbidding access to the ravine. However, there are no barriers to prevent access.
We used the downloadable GPS track and it was a very pleasant walk. Thank you for that. Please note that it is different from the one on the application.
All the best.
AL.

Thank you for your example and your feedback

A very beautiful walk through beautiful autumn landscapes and ochre cliffs. It's difficult to find the junction at the second loop from point 2. It's a narrow, steep, stony passage that can be difficult for slightly older people or children; there are no path markers or signs.
The only way to find the path to the Sitos ravine is to use the Visorando guide. But the land is private and many signs forbid access.
But there are still some beautiful images, such as the view of the vineyards and Mont Ventoux in the distance, or the crossing of the ravine in the heart of the ochre.

Superb hike, pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the ochre.
We recommend this hike.

The tracking of the walk on the app is reliable, but the signposting on site is very haphazard. Nice route.
