Vallée de Serviès

This departmental road crosses the village of Serviès, located in the eponymous valley.

It also criss-crosses the Monts d’Orb national forest between Avène and the Col de Layrac, which marks the transition between the departments of Hérault and Aveyron.

Very wooded, this road is a breath of fresh air on very hot days. The surface is generally in good condition, and the ascent to the pass as well as the descent to Avène are very pleasant.

If you wish to stop there, two lodges are located in the valley: the Cartayade lodge on the south side, and the relay of Marie-Claude and Jacky Theron a little further north. These are two welcoming places with a lot of charm, and you will be well fed and housed there as well as advised on your adventures. It is obviously possible (and encouraged!) to take a hike around the gîtes to discover the surrounding area.

Wild valley to fall on the small village of Serviès. The forest road that climbs into the forest is very nice.
