La Cham du Cros is a summit of the Tanargue massif in the Monts d'Ardèche regional natural park. It's not the highest (it culminates at 1,202 meters) but its massive appearance is quite impressive.

The tour was really great, but with a dog on the limit of what is feasible. In addition, it was almost 30° and towards the end the water was gone. The mountain climb for advanced hikers and mountain goats.
