Ecotourism in the Cévennes

Mont-Lozère is a formidable granite bar, an immense water reserve and a land of springs. It’s a mountain with a unique climate and landscapes shaped by erosion, where granite is the main element of exceptional architecture. The Cévennes themselves are organized around countless valleys facing the Mediterranean. This is the land of goats, silkworms and chestnut trees. We’ve created this hiking holiday with accommodation that has been awarded the sustainable tourism label, an initiative linked to the Parc National des Cévennes, to discover all the charms of the Lozère.

Departures from may to september. We recommend booking in advance.
