Where to practice an individual sport Mons

Here's a great way to discover the many facets of the Haut Languedoc Regional Park. Mountain biking can be done alone or accompanied by a qualified cyclist. Several tours are available, depending on level and duration. Routes range from a stroll around Rosis to a 20 km circuit in the valley. Orienteering outings are organized for groups, and are both fun and instructive! For the more athletic cycling enthusiasts, we offer mountain bike weekends with overnight accommodation in a gîte, meals and a fireside evening.

Jean and Mathieu have just settled and offer climbing, canyoning and via ferrata courses in the Carroux massif, but also in the Cevennes. Treat yourself to fresh water, air and beautiful countryside on the day or half day. Beautiful sensations through climbing paths between 100 and 300 m, and confirmed guides will accompany you to allow you to overcome difficulties under better conditions.

At the heart of the Haut-Languedoc Regional Nature Park lies the Gorges d'Héric, an exceptional site that has been listed since 1993. Thanks to a trail, you can discover the richness of the flora and fauna, stroll along the water and discover the waterfalls and chasms. Signs ask questions. Answers can be found in the "Gorges d'Héric booklet", on sale at the Tourist Office. The walk is on foot, and takes 5 km and 315 m of ascent. It takes about 1h30 with normal walking, 2h with breaks. The return journey takes the same route, i.e. 10 km round trip. Ideal for families, with stroller access. The Gorges d'Héric is also a place where you can cool off in the natural pools. Héric is a charming, picturesque hamlet with small stone houses, slate roofs and chestnut frames, narrow streets and terraced fields.

Practical info : From Mons-la-Trivalle, head for the Gorges d'Héric parking lot. Paid parking on Easter weekends and from April 15 to September 15. The Snack Loulette welcomes you. Picnic tables, toilets, water points, sandwiches and drinks are also available in Héric.

Did you know? Numerous hikes are possible from this site, including the Sentier des Gardes, accessible from the Soupirs footbridge (on the right at the start of the gorges), which takes 2h30 to reach the Caroux orientation table (Caution: significant difference in altitude: 800 m D+).
