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 🥾🥾

September 4, 2021,Le Cirque de Mourèze - Mini-Dolomiten in Frankreich

Today I made a very nice hike, again from one of the recommended Rother guides.
We started at a parking lot, which is there precisely because of this natural spectacle (3 € for the day).
I started around 11 a.m. when it was really warm. But that doesn't scare me on hikes in the south, to be honest, I like …

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.

April 21, 2025,Wanderung durch den Cirque de Mourèze

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.
