A hike in the foothills of the Cévennes, well signposted (yellow markings), with most of the route on good paths, fairly shaded and therefore suitable for summer walking despite the heat.

Moderate
Departure from Saint-Jean-du-Pin (Gard)
A beautiful loop in the Cévennes, 99% on trails. Varied terrain, diverse panoramas including the superb 360° view of Montcalm from the heights of Alès.
For me, this is the most beautiful loop to do in less than 3 hours near Alès. There is only tarmac on the street where you park, and the terrain is very varied (pine and oak forests), with trails ranging from narrow, steep and technical to wide, open tracks, with fords, beautiful views and the most beautiful panorama in the area: it has everything!

Very difficult
Departure from Saint-Jean-de-Valériscle (Gard)
This is a challenging hike that allows you to discover different aspects of the southern Cévennes countryside, passing through forests and superb panoramas, as well as villages and hamlets. The climb from Robiac to the Chapelle Lacham is challenging, with some steep sections, but the scenery is well worth the effort. The descent from the chapel to Saint-Florent-sur-Auzonnet is also challenging, due to the large unstable rocks typical of the Cévennes over much of the descent.

The first part of this hike takes you to the site of the old Carnoulès mines. The route then takes you up the slopes of the Amous valley and back along the river. The Amous, from its source to La Fabrègue, is superb: its crystal-clear waters wind through a wild valley, then its bed makes its way through more fertile land.
