Alrance walks

A pleasant, shaded walk in summer that takes you to Lac de la Gourde from the Pareloup leisure centre.

This hike starts along a shaded stream, climbs to the Lévézou plateaus with their unobstructed views, and ends in the woods.

A beautiful hike starting from Ayssènes in the little-known Tarn region, culminating at the Notre-Dame-du-Désert chapel. Beautiful panoramic views of the Gorges du Tarn and the Lévézou hills. Despite numerous shaded sections, avoid doing this hike in the heat of the day or in wet weather due to the significant elevation gain.

A short hike offering a superb view of Lake Pareloup, one of the largest artificial lakes in France.

Perched on a rocky promontory, at the confluence of the Tarn and Alrance rivers, the magnificent small village of Brousse-le-Château is noted for its exceptional location.

The Haut Lévézou seen from the summit of Mont Seigne (1121m). You will have a 360° view of the Monts d'Aubrac, Mont Lozère, the Cévennes, the Causses, the Monts de l'Espinouse... To get there, take the district roads and dirt tracks used by farmers and foresters. At the summit, an orientation table will give you all the information you need on a 360° view.

Partly forest walk down into the Nauze and Viaur valley where the Versailles site is located: a little paradise by the stream, ideal for a picnic, a spot of fishing or simply a break.

This walk was created by the Pays de la Muse et des Raspes Tourist Office. A very pleasant walk, even in summer, as it is often in the shade. During the season, admire the splendid rosebushes in the streets of Saint-Beauzély.

Fraissines is a small village overlooking the Tarn valley. Balcony paths wind their way up the steep slopes covered with tree heath. This ancient path once linked the villages of Trébas and Combradet. Viewpoints over the Tarn and Aveyron valleys, a spring, a waterfall and abundant, varied vegetation enhance this pretty route. Yellow markings.

This hike, mostly in tree-shade, takes you through coombs and valleys to the south of Saint-Sernin-sur-Rance. Beautiful paths, some of them forgotten or seldom used, add a pleasant touch of wilderness. A breath of fresh air in absolute calm, in an unspoilt natural setting, not forgetting the two menhir statues at Pousthomy, which add a touch of historical interest to this walk.

A route in nature, yet very close to Rodez. You can admire three castles and old houses along the route.

This walk offers an original perspective on the Roquefort region from above, between Lévézou, the Tournemire cirque, an old sheepfold and the Larzac plateau. The final section passes close to the Roquefort caves and crosses the village's main street to return to the starting point.

A lovely walk from the charming village of Moyrazes, which overlooks the Aveyron valley and its magnificent panoramic views.

This is a trail with varied landscapes that takes walkers from the heights of Saint-André to the banks of the Tarn. You will follow theGR®36for half of the route.

An easy hike on the outskirts of Rodez, allowing you to discover four mansions with remarkable architecture typical of the Causse Comtal, the limestone plateau of the Counts of Rodez. This region, with its strong agricultural tradition, is full of estates, including those visible here, which bear witness to a rich past.

A beautiful hike in the Ambialet Piedmont. Ascents towards Les Puechs and descents through the undergrowth follow one another in a series of gentle undulations. As you descend towards La Condomine and Ambialet, two pretty little villages, you will appreciate the charms and tranquillity of the banks of the Tarn.

A route that runs along the heights of one of the most beautiful meanders of the Tarn, passing by the Puech du Point de Vue, before descending for a visit to the site of Ambialet.

A lovely loop that will take you through unspoilt nature, between valleys and hills. Woods and open landscapes punctuate the route until you return to a superb viewpoint over the remarkable isthmus of Ambialet, a splendid peninsula classified as a protected site since 1948. The priory dominates the bend in the Tarn and is the end point of the beautiful Way of the Cross that begins around the Saint-Gilles Chapel, nestled in the rock.

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.

A beautiful hike on the Causse du Larzac to admire the Cirque du Brias, commonly known as the Cirque de Tournemire. It is surrounded by one of the most beautiful cliffs on the western edge of the Larzac, from the top of which you can enjoy a vast panorama. The best time to visit is May/June to admire all the flowers on the causse. Continue towards Viala-du-Pas-de-Jaux with its magnificent restored hospital tower.

Walk on the Courry plateau, overlooking Séverac le Chateau. Panoramic view of the upper Aveyron valley, the Olip valley and the foothills of Lévezou.

A circular route that will take you through small villages, charming hamlets, rivers, woods and peaceful landscapes. Majestic sites (such as the Oulas Gorges, Paulin Castle and the valley of the three rivers at Saint-Jean de Jeannes) can round off the day. This is the land of the sheep that provide the milk for Roquefort cheese.

A tour around the valley of one of the most beautiful villages in France, Belcastel, with several viewpoints over its castle, its old bridge and the village below. You will also pass by the Fort du Roc d'Anglars, and on the way down via the Way of the Cross, you will discover the Lourdou cave with its Virgin Mary.

Through a coniferous forest, we discover the Russian Orthodox Chapel nestled in the heart of the woods, in an idyllic green setting. Time to pause and meditate on this magical place. Superb views. The trail is mainly woodland, which is pleasant in hot weather.
