    Tips

    Here you can comfortably admire a large area with exposed ochre rocks. 🥰
    The gorge mentioned is located elsewhere and - as of June 2024 - has not yet been mapped.
    There are many hiking trails in this beautiful area.

      The impressive colors impress with their intensity.

          It is a really worthwhile hike point the way through the forest with many ocher rocks already and visiting the gorge are really an experience. However, I warn komoot against following the direct descent. Here it was only on my pants that was so steep the descent can bypass it without any problems

            Not as well known as Rustrel and Roussillon - out of season you can spend hours alone here.

                Really impressive eroded rocks in all shades of ocher.

                  Pretty narrow canyon ending in a skylight!

                      A circuit of great diversity with wild ocher in the center like the nature that surrounds it. Simply beautiful

                        Magical color! A small accessible canyon not far away reflects this color in the light

                          Unfortunately we couldn't get in the first time because there was a risk of fire. It had been dry for a long time and there was wind so if there was a fire it would spread very quickly.
