Gorges of the Ardèche.
If you walk here during the high season, thousands of canoeists will accompany you. Out of season, these beautiful Gorges get their authentic character back and then it is pure enjoyment. The Montagne de Sable in the meander below the Saleyron cliffs is formed by flooding. At the height of the Pointe des Cinq Fenêtres it is dozens of meters high. After this beautiful natural phenomenon you come to the Gué du Charmassonnet, here you have to cross the river. Put on water-resistant shoes or Teva's here because crossing the river on bare feet is not recommended. On the other side you follow the river and at the end you come across some ladders and secured passages. These are not dangerous passages but you have to be a little bit sporty.
Take a pair of water-resistant shoes along for the Ardèche crossing.
There are some secured passages at the end of this walk.
Check the water levels because at high water this walk can not be done!
