What a great route, but you should be sure-footed and bring decent hiking boots with good soles and lots of water 🥵 I drank 5 liters that day, 2 liters 💧💧 of them on the hike and 3 afterwards until I was balanced again 💧💧💧.
32% gradient with the rocky ground is not easy 🥾🥾

I've been looking forward to this tour since last year, and it almost fell through due to restrictions because of the risk of forest fires, but luckily access wasn't forbidden today and it was so worth it. But it was also quite strenuous 🥵

Difficult course, especially since we had showers. The dirt stuck to the shoes and the rocky headlands were slippery. The scenery is splendid and the view of the lake incredible.

Dominated by the rocky ridge of Mont Liausson, the Cirque de Mourèze offers a beautiful stroll through a fairytale landscape where the dolomite forms veritable natural sculptures amidst a chaos of upright rocks.
A challenging climb leads to the summit of Mont Liausson to enjoy an exceptional panoramic view of Lake Salagou: …

An impressive circular hike through the unique rocky landscape of the Cirque de Mourèze with its bizarre dolomite formations. The trail leads along narrow paths, partly through the rocks, and past viewpoints with magnificent views of Lake Salagou. It's especially beautiful in the morning or late afternoon.

If you are on holiday in this region, it is somehow a must to visit the Cirque de Mourèze.
More than 150,000 visitors come here every year to walk the circular path and watch the stone spectacle. We join in. But it is worth it!

A very pretty walk among rocks with incredible shapes and sometimes improbable balance. The view of Salagou at the top of Liausson mountain is the icing on the cake. Taking care to wear good shoes is a big challenge.
