In Ardèche, there are also hundreds of kilometers of hiking trails to explore with your dog. The most mythical Ardèche hike is surely that of the ascent of Mont Gerbier de Jonc which culminates at 1551 m. At the top of the mountain, you will discover the 3 sources which give birth to the longest river in France: the Loire! You can follow an easier 3km walk along the Sources de la Loire interpretive trail if climbing the mountain is too ambitious for you.
