Description
The start is in the hamlet of Morsanges in front of the communal oven. From there, take the path that passes in front of the fountain. After having passed the granite chaos located above the path, cross a succession of portals. (view of the Grandval dam reservoir).
The path descends in laces. At the 4th bend, leave the path that goes towards the penstock to follow the path to the right. At another bend, take the path below a dry stone wall. The path crosses the wood and becomes fairly flat again then enters the defile. Over 1 km you then cross several climbing sectors: meadow of the girls, devil's claws, long rock, belvedere and beak of the eagle. Be careful with children, passages with wired handrail.
After the Bec de l'Aigle sector, take the path to the right which climbs up to a chicane and then reaches a gate. Continue to the hamlet of Chazals.
At the crossroads after the hamlet of La Grenouillère, turn right on the road to Morsanges and return to the starting point (view of the ruins of the Arzenc d'Apcher tower, on the other side of the gorges, in Lozère) .
