Prévenchères walks
The Goulet Forest from Prévenchères
Hike north of Prévenchères with a reasonable elevation gain. The weak point of the hike is, of course, the start on tarmac, but it allows you to warm up with the Chassezac on your left. After that, it's just paths and trails between mountain pastures and forest.
Belvédère and balconies of the Chassezac
A short, very easy hike that can be done with the family. The first 500 m section follows the Chassezac viewpoint route with magnificent views of the gorges and the Roure plateau opposite. On a clear day, you can see Mont Ventoux. The second part follows part of the greenway, created on the abandoned route of the old RN106. On the way back, it passes through fields and hamlets to return to the starting point, with beautiful views of the village of La Garde Guérin, which is well worth a visit.

Fossat loop starting from Grand Altier
This hike starts at Grand Altier and takes you to Le Fossat via a series of forest paths with varied atmospheres. The return journey is via another forest path that runs alongside a river and takes you over a pretty bridge. Please note that some sections are not cleared of undergrowth, so watch out for ticks, snakes, etc. Take a stick with you to defend yourself if necessary, but avoid interacting with them as much as possible. In addition, you will pass through some areas where herds of cows graze, so avoid interacting with them as well.
