Tour de la montagne Vaux
This tour takes in 2 areas: the Eygues valley with its Mediterranean vegetation, and the Combe de Sauve with its more alpine vegetation. The reward awaits you at the Col du Flachet: a magnificent view of the old village of Aubres.

Point 5: Col du Flachet (km 11 - 665m) Straight on towards the Combe de Sauve. Technical descent. Point 6: Combe de Sauve (km 12.1 - 510m) Take the tarmac road on your left.
