You pass through two lovely oak woods and walk along a plateau with views; do not follow the yellow markings. The walk can be completed in under two hours, even if you visit the dolmen to the left of the covered passageway at the start.

Incorrect description: at the end of the first climb, do not head straight ahead (waypoint 641) but turn right, keeping the belay station on your left; after the water tower, take the first grassy path on the right, not the second. Do not rely on the yellow markings of the listed footpaths or the Yellow Crosses; this route does not necessarily follow them.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

I must be too used to Balirando walks

It’s true that with Visorando we often go off the beaten track, so there are no signposts.

See you soon

My first hike using Visorando – I must be too used to Balirando walks; luckily I had the app on my phone.

Take particular care between points 3 and 4: on the sloping path, turn right halfway up

Thank you, Lefort Freddy, for sending us this comment.
Very disappointing – perhaps a bit much just for a missing detail. The author of this walk hasn’t been in touch, so if you could tell us what you would write to improve the description at that specific point, it would be a great help.

There is no indication at the top of the first route description to avoid confusion with another hike that does not go via Villeneuve-Lembron

This is a lovely walk, provided you add to the suggested route a return trip (about 30 minutes) to see the Vallon des Fosses and a return trip of about 5 minutes to see the Cirque des Mottes. It’s not difficult at all and it’s absolutely stunning. The route is very well signposted on the ground.

Right, I’ve just made a few changes – does that make it clearer?
Thank you for your constructive feedback; as the author hasn’t been active on the site for a while, I’ve taken the liberty of making the changes.

Hello,
Here are a few details about the start of this walk:
0 - Start in front of the church, on Rue de Chandez. Walk uphill for 100m. After a small cross, take the path on the left at the three-way junction.
1 - At the junction (elevation 641), continue straight ahead (relay mast on your right), follow the plateau.......
Kind regards
Katy

The directions aren’t clear enough; too many paths look alike, and the three-way junctions are actually dead ends. There are no clear landmarks.
