Soubès walks

In Soubès, follow the signs to the hikers' car park near the Impasse des Garennes retirement home. Then simply follow the yellow markings, passing through the botanical trail and then the old salt road, which leads to the foothills of the Larzac. This walk offers breathtaking views of the Cirque du Bout du Monde before returning to our starting point via the Camin Farrat.

A hike in the foothills of the Larzac plateau overlooking Cirque du Bout du Monde and the village of Gourgas with a return journey via a beautiful forest path.

South of the Causse du Larzac, the trail runs along a ledge overlooking the hamlet of Gourgas. Halfway up the cirque, a trail enters the woods and rocks and crosses the beds of the small tributaries of the Brèze stream: the Aven, the Figaret and the Rieussec. Below, the valley opens up to reveal a variety of landscapes, including dark ravines and bright meadows watered by numerous springs. The trail reaches the Pioch Blanc and then returns to the hamlet via the Doumergarie bridge.

A hike in a pleasant valley with plenty of water and the Pas de l'Escalette, a spot steeped in history. The return via the plateau offers a wide view of the surrounding area. Moderator update on 27/01/2021: some of the paths used in this itinerary have disappeared. However, there is a yellow-marked trail on site. See the reviews from January 2021.

In a limestone circus setting, this circuit climbs to the foot of the cliffs, offering views of the Lodève countryside.

Finally, the route follows ancient paths worn by passing flocks of sheep.

This hike is a great way to discover Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert in a different way, arriving via the Cirque de l'Infernet, without long lines of cars or queues at the car park.

A short but very pretty hike in the Octon hills, offering views of Lake Salagou at the start.

The artificial lake of Lac de Salagou has created an attraction that goes far beyond water sports and bathing. Geology, pastoralism, old villages, drystone shelters and vineyards complete the appeal of this region, which returns to peace and quiet at the end of summer.
