Les Valadous

Les Valadous, Mountain peak in Astet, France.

Les Valadous is a granite summit in Ardèche that reaches 1548 meters in height. Its gentle slopes feature open meadows interspersed with exposed rocky outcrops.

The summit was marked with a geodetic marker at its highest point to record it on French topographic maps. This official designation makes it part of the region's mapped landscape.

Shepherds have long used these slopes to graze their flocks, shaping the landscape with their traditional way of life. The gentle terrain shows how people and nature work together here.

The hike starts from Col du Pendu on a route of about 4 kilometers with moderate gains in elevation. The varied terrain is manageable for hikers with basic fitness.

Picnic tables sheltered under beech trees at the top provide protection from strong mountain winds. These simple rest spots let visitors enjoy the view from the summit in peace.
