Please note: moderator's note on 20 April 2024. - From (4), access to the ridge (5) is blocked. - On the return journey from (2), take the same route in reverse to reach (1). The alternative route is blocked. Note dated 05/05/24 The route has been modified. Depart from the cemetery car park to continue the route. Return along the same route as on the way there, as the path is now blocked. I hope to return in the summer of 2024 to improve this old route. Thank you for your feedback, and please be friendly to anyone you meet on the trail. In the heart of the Ardèche countryside, a route taking in the Serre de Gruas, the small village of Chambon-de-Bavas and the ruins of the Saint-Quintin farm.

View of the Vercors on one side and panoramic view at the Serre de Gruas.

A short circular loop in the Coiron massif, an extension of the Massif Central in Ardèche, which ends with an easy climb up the Neck de Sceautres on a well-maintained and secure path. The Neck, with a diameter of approximately 200 m and a height of 133 m, is the largest basalt peak in Europe, the former chimney of a volcano that formed 8 million years ago. Placed at its summit, where you can enjoy a superb 360° panorama, the statue of the Virgin Mary dominates the village nestled at its feet.

The return trip is through the woods, with some very fragrant lavender fields in June.

The magnificent little village of Sceautres is nestled against the imposing basalt neck, the remains of a volcanic eruption. This immense block is the lava contained in the volcano's chimney, whose cone has disappeared due to erosion.
