GR®77
From Saut de Vezoles (Herault) to Alaric Signal (Aude)
|
|
The GR77, a long-distance hiking trail between the Espinouse and Corbières mountains, begins on the granite peaks of the Hérault region with a spectacular waterfall. The route then descends towards the Minervois, a region characterized by karst topography and fragrant garrigue scrubland. Passing through Pardailhan and Vélieux, hikers discover a landscape of limestone plateaus carved by deep canyons. Historically, this path has been a land of resistance and passage, linking the mountain areas to the wine-growing plains. Heritage is omnipresent: remains of Cathar castles, dry-stone huts, and circular villages bear witness to ancient human habitation. Reaching the Signal de l'Alaric, a true lookout point in the Aude department, offers a 360° panorama stretching from the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean, concluding a journey where rugged geology meets the rich terroirs of the South.
