Between the Parc Naturel Régional du Haut-Languedoc and the Grand Site Salagou - Cirque de Mourèze, 5 days of hiking between the most unknown and the most famous lake in the Hérault...
And to discover Avène and its thermal baths, the wide-open forests and pastures of the Monts d'Orb, the Orb and Gravezon valleys, the ruffes of the Haute Vallée du Salagou, the shores of Lac du Salagou, and the pretty town of Clermont-l'Hérault. A short, leisurely week's hike in breathtaking scenery!
The Sentier des Deux Lacs 'intégral' is the synthesis of the GR® de Pays Entre Deux Lacs Avène - Salagou: two lake tours over 2 or 3 days, and a Sentier des 2 lacs that can be completed in 3, 4 or 5 days. Wonderful slow-motion journeys through the nature and geology of the Hérault region, in the heart of the Terres d'Hérault Geopark.
