Hiking - Le Chastelas
A beautiful hike on the heights of Nojaret, leading to the Chastelas, the former site of the Montclar Castle.
Enjoy a stunning panorama of this historically rich place! You will walk beneath chestnut trees and pines, along paths that were once heavily traveled to cross the strategic Montclar pass. Everything was cultivated, and exchanges were numerous.
Along the route, directional posts guide you, as well as yellow paint markings. The names of places and/or directions to follow are indicated in bold italics and in quotation marks in the description below:
From "Vialas", head towards "Nojaret Haut", then head towards "Sous le col de Montclar" via "Lou Garadou", "Lou Pradous" and "Les Sources". Then, head towards "Puecharus" passing by "Le Chastelas". Return to "Vialas" via the "Réservoir" and "Nojaret Haut".
You’ll pass through a scree field before reaching the Chastelas. You also have the option to follow the forest track that bypasses the Chastelas.
