Part of theGRP® Tour des Monts d'Aubrac, yellow/red markings
(1) Leave theGR® 65 on your left and continue straight ahead (D50). At the next junction 150 m further on, leave the D987 on your left and continue straight ahead. After another 70 m or so, at the junction, leave the D50 on your right and turn left. The small road, after a slight climb, passes under the motorway; at the next junction, a few metres after the motorway, continue straight ahead; shortly afterwards, the road becomes a track (heading west, north-west). Follow it for about 3 km, ignoring any paths to the right or left.
(2) After the Croix de Maurel, you will come to a right-angled junction.
(3) Turn left (south-west) and continue for about 1.7 km (ignore the tracks on the left).
(4) Pass the Croix de Bastide. Cross the D987, take the small road opposite, and after about 300 m, join theGR® 65.
(5) Turn right onto theGR® 65 for about 100 metres and, at the next fork, turn left (leaving theGR® 65) towards the Croix de Conord. The path, heading due south, reaches the Croix de Conord and a crossroads after 1 km.
(6) Continue straight on for about 2 km (passing the Croix d’Odilon after about 1 km). At the end of this almost straight stretch, the path becomes a road and joins the D53 at a right-hand bend. Follow the D53 for a few metres northwards until you reach a path on the left.
(7) Take this path on the left, heading west, then veering more and more sharply southwards, ignoring any paths to the right or left, until you reach the hamlet of Soulages (with a beautiful renovated bread oven) and arrive at the road.
(8) Turn right and, after about 1.5 km, you’ll reach the hamlet of La Combe (at the junction with Route de Trémouloux, about a hundred metres before reaching the hamlet, turn right to reach La Combe). Head towards the junction with Rue de l’École.
(9) Continue westwards (do not enter the hamlet but walk alongside it), and carry on to Prinsuéjols (E) about 1.5 km away, today’s destination.
