Trailence

Hiking - A steep climb

A family walk exploring Cévenol heritage, with handsome views onto the Vallée Borgne.
Explore the village of St-André de Valborgne with its 5 large silk spinning-mills, the dignified and understated Château de Nogaret (12th c.) overlooking the valley, and the ruins of the former foresters’ house of Rougeiresque. The downhill section is on the old track that used to connect the village with the King’s road (now the Corniche road).
Before committing yourself to a circuit, ensure that it is suitable for your activity level and ability. Remember that the weather changes quickly in the mountains. Take enough water. Please close all gates and barriers behind you.
