This route follows the Dolmen and Fossé des Yeux hike, but starts from Tressan. It is slightly shorter and parking is easier.

Part of the hike is unmarked, following an old railway line and then tracks or paths. The return journey takes you through beautiful wild valleys, along a dry stream. Technically, the hike is not difficult. However, given the multitude of crossroads, a GPS is essential. Not recommended for novice hikers.

A pleasant route on trails that are rarely used in winter: a blue lake at the bottom of an old red bauxite quarry, a hermitage lost in the heart of the forest and a panoramic view from the top of the Puech Bartelié antenna.

Hiking on tracks and trails. This outing, sometimes in the undergrowth, sometimes under the pines, does not present any particular difficulty for occasional hikers. In good weather, there are beautiful views from Puech Bartelié or over the Séranne.

The route is remarkable for its great diversity of sites and landscapes. Passage through the mountain via the Saint-Guiraud Tunnel. Ascent of the Lagarel Stream and the Devil’s Canyon.Ascent of the Deux Vierges.Panoramic views and return via the Yeuses track.Several challenges characterise the route:- lack of signposting along the vast majority of the route, but very well-defined, obvious and often bordered paths. -steep gradients concentrated between La Cascade du Diable and La Roque Courbe- slippery steep sections on the descent from the lime kiln slag heap and in the Ruffes corridor (more difficult on the descent; the circular loop should be completed in the suggested order).

The Infernet cirque in all its splendour, with many viewpoints and many climbs too. Following a fire on 5 April 2023 on the heights of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert and Saint-Jean-de-Fos, the route remains passable but the Fenestrettes PR® is affected, as is the Arles route (GR®653). Please check with the Saint-Guilhem – Vallée de l'Hérault Tourist Office for information on the passability of the route.

Much of the route is shaded, either in the undergrowth or in the beautiful Parlatges forest, making it possible to enjoy this hike in the sunshine.

Reach the banks of the Hérault from Puéchabon. There are various routes, but not from this village with its hidden mysteries. The area you will be crossing will surprise the novice. Discover the flora and fauna, which has many surprises in store. Swimming is possible on the Hérault river. Everyone will be enlightened in their own way and will take away memories that may reinforce their choices and visions. Nature offers many surprises for those who are willing to linger.

During the hike entitled “The Devil’s Canyon and the Gibret Cross”, we discovered the extraordinary part of the canyon. The hike described today, which offers a striking contrast in scenery, covers only the canyon section. It is an exceptional geological site that we wanted to show our friends without having to repeat the long hike we had done previously. It unfolds within a very distinctive geological formation known as a “ruffe” (a term used in the Hérault region to describe the red soils formed from pelites). The hike is a round trip and presents no particular difficulties.
