    Tips

    March 1, 2021

    This section marks the actual core of the route: the ascent from Valleraugue to Mont Aigoual, the second highest point in the Cevennes, on which there is a weather station and viewing platform. There is a view to the Mediterranean in a southerly direction, which I was not allowed to do that day, and in a northerly direction to Mont Lozère. I would take sticks with me next time, because as an experienced trail runner you will speedhike over long distances. You don't have to constantly stare at your GPS, because you can't get lost on the ascent, at least. Theoretically there is a restaurant up here where you can buy something to eat or drink. When I got up here everything was closed and there were hardly any people around. So better take precautions.
