7h 20
Difficult
Departure from Brusque (Aveyron)
Varied landscapes and numerous viewpoints. A few very steep climbs! Orientation table at the summit.
A few sections on roads in the valley and on tracks along the ridges (tracks built for the installation and maintenance of the wind turbines)
Rich and varied flora: in late April, a carpet of daffodils at the summit; in late June, a profusion of gentians, large daisies and… wild strawberries.

+1,365 ft
-1,348 ft

Hike at the gateway to Lévezou and the deep, narrow Viaur valley.
The banks of the Tarn, my way, starting from Lincou

-1,529 ft
5h 40
Moderate
Departure from Réquista (Aveyron)
Beautiful views over the Tarn valley and charming villages: Lincou, Connac, Lavabre.
The last three kilometres are a very pleasant stroll along the Tarn. Beautiful stone crosses all along the route. Yellow markings on certain sections of the path.
Saint-Igest trail in the Tarn valley

+1,421 ft
-1,437 ft

The Cirque de Tournemire and the Sentier des Échelles via Roquefort
12.78 mi
+3,048 ft
-3,064 ft
6 hrs
Very difficult
Departure from Tournemire (Aveyron)
This route, which circles the Soulzon valley, will take you to two legendary sites:
- the Cirque de Tournemire and its spectacular cliffs.
- the Combalou plateau, whose underground chambers house the famous Roquefort caves. The trail winds its way through cliffs, ledges and rocky outcrops, offering impressive views.
Between the two, there is a truly unique route around the Roquesquatres mountain and a short passage through the woods along the Soulzon.
Les Raspes du Tarn
10.30 mi
+3,123 ft
-3,104 ft
7h 25
Difficult
Departure from Le Truel (Aveyron)
This route alternates between climbs (sometimes steep...), descents (just as steep...!), narrow paths and tracks, and a bit of road too.
You pass through steep-sided valleys and very pretty hilltop villages, and most of the time you walk along a balcony-like path above the Tarn, a river with emerald-green waters (well, almost...).
Circuit around Combret-sur-Rance
10.31 mi
+1,762 ft
-1,749 ft
6h 15
Moderate
Departure from Combret (Aveyron)
Very interesting hike as much for the landscapes (Rance valley, Rougier de Camarès) as for the culture (village of Combret, Notre-Dame d'Orient, numerous crosses).
Some portions on tarmac, but with the magnificence of the small paths and the beauty of the landscape, you'll quickly forget them.
From Lincou to Brousse-Le-Château, following the river...
8.02 mi

-322 ft

Moderate

-1,627 ft
5h 35
Moderate
Departure from Réquista (Aveyron)
From Réquista, situated to the south of the Ségala plateau, to Lincou, on the banks of the Tarn.
Numerous viewpoints overlooking the Tarn valley and the Réquista countryside, a land of livestock farming, particularly the Lacaune sheep, whose milk is used to make Roquefort.
