A massive, stone-built base supports the "Croix de Chirole," a symbol commemorating the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, crowning the summit plateau. The two wooden beams of this small sacred monument clearly show the effects of wind and weather. The large body of the crucified Christ, however, whose light color clearly stands out against the background of the dark beams, appears to have been relatively recently restored or perhaps even renewed.

Lots of hikers. Be polite and share the trail. The descent with the small steps is a treat.

Beautiful summit with a wonderful view

Beautiful summit with great views

Mont Gerbier-de-Jonc is one of the highest peaks of the Monts d'Ardèche in the south-eastern Massif Central. The mountain itself is a striking, extinct volcanic cone with a good view over the Massif Central. The ascent and descent require some fitness and good footwear. There are a few short climbing rocks that cannot be avoided. But the view is worth it.

A beautiful, fairly simple descent on a pretty dirt path, with a breathtaking view of the valley of Lalevade-d'Ardèche and Vals-les-Bains. It gets a little complicated at the end with hairpin turns on rough terrain, ideal for perfecting the nose-turn...

I confirm that the final ascent of the dent de rez is not feasible with a bicycle as luggage, either in one direction or the other. It took us 1 hour to climb the last 500m to the top.

From its 915 meters, you can see through three valleys, the central massif and the Alps. Stunning panoramas.
