Here’s a short walk to stretch your legs, right next to Aurillac.

A short but pretty circular route in a secluded valley, with landscapes typical of the Jordanne Valley – green and rolling. Unmarked, but no difficulty in finding your way.

An interesting low-altitude hike above and in the Jordanne valley. Enjoy beautiful green landscapes typical of the Cantal region. Pass through pretty little hamlets with old buildings. Peaceful and natural.

A magnificent tour on the plateau where the village of Girgols is located. A short stretch of tarmac road at the beginning, then paths and fields. From the hamlet of La Bastide, you are in a wild, solitary and magnificent world.

A mountain bike ride with no major difficulties. This route offers beautiful views over the Cère Valley, the Goul Valley and the Cantal Mountains. The most challenging section is over the last two kilometres!

Starting from the small village of Omps in the Cantal chestnut groves, this walk between plateaus and valleys offers beautiful views of the Monts du Cantal, with visits to hamlets with remarkable buildings.

A lovely walk through isolated valleys, typical of the Cantalian mid-mountains. Beautiful trees, beautiful landscapes, peace and greenery. A marked walk with no particular difficulty, if you enjoy paths and hills.

In the heart of the Cantal, this circular route reveals a landscape where nature and heritage blend at every step. From Les Havres Verts, the route descends towards Le Rieu before following the Doire along its shaded banks. The path climbs through the forest and, from an isolated barn, offers a beautiful view of the valley. You then pass through quiet hamlets (La Blatte, Labastide, Soulage) that bear witness to a preserved rural way of life. At La Blatte, an old castle invites you to take a break. Its owner, who is there in spring and summer, is happy to act as a guardian of the site’s history. The route reaches its highest point at Girgols, a charming village where the church and the old wash house are well worth a stop. The return route takes you across the plateau and through the forest, with a stop at the Blatte waterfall (more lively in spring than in summer). You then head for the banks of the Doire to make a leisurely return to the start. An accessible, varied and authentic walk, ideal for discovering the Cantal off the beaten track.

Partez à la découverte du Chemins des Écoliers. Vous découvrirez la richesse du patrimoine naturel de la commune de Leucamp.

A lovely walk along the banks of the Langayroux with a view of an impressive rock.

A lovely, easy hike through bucolic countryside, along and above the water, almost entirely shaded by tall trees. Beautiful views. Swimming possible. Near Saint-Illide, Arnac and Pleaux.
