Sentier du Calvaire

The name of the municipality of Mont-Roc was chosen in 1926 because rocks and boulders characterise the area. Before that date, the village was called "Montcouyoul": the mountain of cuckoos.

Mont-Roc is located in a triangle formed by the meeting of the Dadou, one of the most important tributaries of the Agout, and the Dadounet. Roc du Calvaire, Roc de la Loubière, Roc de Bermenat, Roc de Biais, Roc du Cayla, Roc du Suquet, Roc du Castelas, Roc des Pauquets, all these names are often linked to castles, some ruins testify to their presence.

Le Calvaire is particularly well known to climbers as the climbing site, since its reopening in 2016, is once again frequented throughout the year thanks to its exceptional exposure, sheltered from the autumn wind, and the starts are shaded. Suitable equipment is required for climbing, in compliance with the internal regulations in place.

A path was opened during this development to allow access to the secure Belvedere for a family walk. The Belvedere is the highest point and offers a panoramic view of part of the Razisse lake and the Department.
