Hiking
Along the Regordan wayAn ancient cart road, the “route des Arvernes” linking Nîmes to Gergovie (now Clermont-Ferrand) in Gallo-Roman times, was for a long time, before becoming a Great Hiking Trail, an essential communication axis. It is largely around him that is organized communications in this region of the “Reliefs Cévenols”, between Génolhac and Alès (and beyond to Vézénobres) through Portes.
From Alès or the Grand Combe, a first stop would be the unmissable one at the château de Portes: its spur, dominated by a watchtower, impresses.
By the departmental road on the way to Génolhac, Chamborigaud can be another stop. The viaduct of Luech is a known work of art on this railroad line, still in activity, between Alès and Langogne called “Le Cévenol”.
Further on, successively, the clochers of Génolhac and Concoules stand out. The Romanesque church of Génolhac, flanked by an eleventh-century tower, is marked by its “comb” bell tower. Tiny alleys, vaulted passages, make the charm of this medieval village.
From Génolhac, you can reach the Mont Lozère and the Mas de la Barque. This nature (and ski) resort, dominated by the Aigle rock and the Pic Cassini, is one of the highest points of Mont Lozère, at 1,680 m. of altitude.
