Nous avons fait ce parcours du 1er au 5 juillet 2021 et nous avons tous été enchantés aussi bien par les paysages que par la qualité d'accueil de nos gîtes.
Petit trek pour marcheur moyen allant de gîte d'étape en gîte d'étape. L'accueil a toujours été très chaleureux et les repas du soir ont transformé ce trek en randonnées gastronomiques.
Nous avons aussi utilisé la malle postale de Sandrine pour transférer nos valises allégeant de ce fait nos sacs à dos.
Tour du Chap del Bosc en quatre étapes enchanteresses
Saint-Laurent-les-Bains, le Bez, la Bombine, Montselgues, Ourlette
Remarque importante : D'Ourlette pour revenir à Saint-Laurent-les-Bains nous avons utilisé une voiture que nous avions laissé avant de partir. Enchantés par la beauté et la diversité des paysages nous aurions bien aimer boucler complètement cette boucle mais nous n'avons pas trouver de gîte entre Ourlette et Saint-Laurent-les-Bains à notre grand regret.

Although it is very flat, the summit of Les Valadous offers a 360° panorama of the Alps and the Massif Central.
The round trip from the Col du Pendu is a very easy family walk along wide, clearly marked tracks.
This route also features a balcony-like section along the edge of the plateau with an impressive bird’s-eye view of the upper Ardèche valley. This part of the route, on a poorly defined path, is more challenging and is reserved for more experienced hikers. It may also be temporarily inaccessible when this moorland is used for grazing (see practical information).
