Access: machine translated ➜

From Montpellier on the N 109/E 11 in the direction of the A 15 (Millau). After 30 km turn right to Gignac and continue on the D 32 to Aniane. After the village turn left on the D 27, on the Pont du Diable over the Herault and after the bridge turn right to Ste. Guilhem-Le-Desert. Park here (fee).

Approach (1 h): machine translated ➜

We leave the village on a wide trail upstream in a westerly direction. We approach the cauldron 'l'Infernet' and climb its rock face on the hiking trail. After reaching the saddle, a path leads down to the right into the dry streambed of the Verdus.

Tour (1 h 30): machine translated ➜

The descent into the basin is not without charm, the swimming pool can be passed by climbing.

Return (20 min): machine translated ➜

Once in the valley, follow the stream back to the village.

Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Verdus Presque eu envie de renseigner "petit filet d'eau", car la cascade à l'aval immédiat de la vasque aux poissons rouges laissait couler quelques gouttes. Relais et points en très bon état. (Quelle: https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/canyon-debit/2374/observations.html)
