With its rich heritage and picturesque farmland, the hike around Mount Riable offers a chance to immerse yourself in a stunning natural landscape.

Description

  1. From the town hall, head toward Notre-Dame de Chalma. Follow the trail that winds along the edge of the fields behind the church. At the second intersection, turn sharply right onto the trail. Continue along the trail until you reach the pine forest, then begin the ascent up the mountain. Near the gorge, cross the narrow stream and climb the switchbacks to the pass. 
  2. From the pass, you can make a round trip to the Tour du Riable, which offers a superb panoramic view of the wild landscapes of the Méouge. Upon returning to the pass, begin the descent via the trail leading toward a farm below. When you reach a wider, rocky trail, leave the direction of Eourres and the GRP. Continue on the main trail and follow the yellow markings to the hamlet of Château.
  3. From the hamlet, head down to the left along the road that winds beneath the mountain for about 3 km, cutting through the gorge. Pass the hamlet of “Malaric,” and at the intersection, cross the bridge over the Auzance. Follow the D 201 to the left for 1 km. At the place called “l’Adret,” cross another similar bridge to the left, then immediately turn right onto the path that runs along the fields before rejoining the paved road. Continue on this path (Chemin des Iscles) to the crossroads.
  4. At the crossroads, marked by the “Le Canal” signpost, you’ll find Notre-Dame de Chalma on the left, or the Town Hall on the right.
