You will experience mountain roads typical of the southern Cévennes.
The start is on the D999 towards Ganges. At Pont d'Hérault turn left to go up the Hérault valley (D986) to Valleraugue where the climb to your first pass (500m+ over km), the Col du Pas (D10) begins.
A descent will then take you to Les Plantiers (D193) before climbing back up the D20 to your second pass (another 500m+), the Col de l'Asclier (a spring on the right side of the road allows you to refill your water bottles). From there you descend back towards St Martial via the Col de Bès and the Col de la Tribale.
You continue to Sumène along a winding and narrow road through the chestnut grove, which must be negotiated with caution.
Take the D11 on your right to begin the climb towards Cap de Coste (your 5th pass) and join the D999 and Le Vigan via Pont d'Hérault.
