Hiking

Hiking and climbing adventures for young and old. Access via L'Hospitalet-du-Larzac (A75). From the temporary car park at a fork in the road, it is about 1.5 km on a "regulated path" (which is open to pedestrians) to the entrance to the "Les Canalettes" nature reserve. Here you can scramble around and the leaner and more agile you are, the further you can penetrate this rock labyrinth... We also recommend visiting the (naturally) "illuminated cave" and the rock arches of the Usclades. By the way, this area can also be hiked from Nant (approx. 7.5 km approach).

Hiking

The canoles are impressive faults dug by the erosion of the limestone. If the site is today an ideal place for hiking, it has been a habitat since the Mesolithic.

Hiking

Four very narrow ravine passages filled with lush vegetation. Access is not easy, you have to be able to climb with the strength of your arms and have a template that allows you to slip through certain passages to be able to take advantage of everything.
