Mountain hiking trail that turns into a via ferrata

Highlight (Segment) • Other

At the end of this section, we had to turn back because the path required climbing along a precipice. Impossible without a head for heights and with a child.

Héric Gorge

A spectacular road that crosses the bottom of the gorges. Cyclists and hikers share the wide dusty road. You will find along your walk, many places where you can swim.

Gouffre du Cerisier Natural Pool and Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

A well-appointed rock pool that invites you to swim. But it is very crowded on sunny days. The setting is splendid, the waters crystal clear and the spots in the shade numerous.
