Discovery trail "On the Trail of the Mouflon"

An interpretive trail to discover the mouflon and its history since 1950 in our Cévennes. An easy family trail offering breathtaking views of the Cévennes mountains.

Introduced to Mont Aigoual in the 1950s, the mouflon, however emblematic it may be, is still little known or poorly understood. This trail follows in its footsteps, perhaps offering a direct sighting from one of the observation points along the walk...
Also worth discovering: the Mouflon Observatory located on the D986, the road linking the villages of L'Espérou and Valleraugue, and "Open your eyes, look for the mouflon" (outings organized by the Maison de l'Aigoual throughout the summer).

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours
Distance: 2,3 km
Elevation: 100 m
Level: Easy
