Once up there, you'll find a variety of itineraries of varying degrees of difficulty, before embarking on a spectacular 10-kilometer descent to Loudenvielle. In between seasons, it's not uncommon to spot hinds and deer roaming the forest.

Since you are here, we invite you, before climbing, to visit the village and its episcopal castle: the whole one deserves a look. Are you ready? Then climb your car and go to Riols, where you will cross the intriguing statue-menhir. The less brave can stop there and take the path of return by joining the Saint-Affrique-Albi line, while the others will continue towards the pond of Chur, 4 kilometers later. These will then return to a good port by taking the shaded road of Black Wood, which will lead them to a remarkable point of view at the height of Sermet.
