A beautiful hike above Peyreleau with many points of interest: views of the Tarn valley and the Jonte gorges, vultures and eagles in flight, the ruins of the Hermitage of Saint-Michel and swimming in the Jonte on the way back. The most strenuous part is the first section to reach the viewpoint.

Thisthird stage of the Tour du Causse Méjean takes place entirely within the Gorges du Tarn. Following wide tracks or good footpaths, sometimes beneath overhanging rock formations, sometimes along the banks of the Tarn, this easy, shaded stage offers a very pleasant way to explore this part of the gorges.

Perhaps the most beautiful walk along the Causse Méjean, which traditionally starts out from Le Rozier.
Here, by starting on the cliff top, there is less vertical drop, as you stay between 870 and 720m the whole way.
As well as breath-taking scenery, you can see vultures circling above you and even below you on the cliffs!

This hike offers some of the finest panoramic views from the ridges on both banks of the Jonte, taking you through the heart of the Causse Méjean and the Arcs de Saint-Pierre. It’s an alternative to the signposted routes, which each stay on a single bank, all in a circular route that can be completed in a long day!

Hike modified on 17/05/2023. See practical information.
Author's note, July 2023: I redid this route (July 2023) and found it completely disrupted by a recent fire in the upper part of the route. A well-marked trail has been marked in yellow since this event. It deviates slightly from the original route in places but is easy to follow.
