Bès (rivière) walks

A very accessible hike, with superb views over the Aubrac Plateau. You'll pass the Cascade du Déroc waterfall, one of the region's most remarkable sites.

As its name suggests, this hike offers sweeping views of the Aubrac plateau, creating a kind of horizontal vertigo. To enjoy these views, you will need to climb two volcanic hills, which are not difficult. The villages of Rieutort and Marchastel boast beautiful heritage sites.

An easy hike offering beautiful views of Nasbinals and the surrounding pastures.

A very scenic hike over the Lot valley, the Aubrac plateau and Auvergne in the distance. The route is very pastoral, crossing numerous pastures where herds of cows graze (from May to October). The slopes are gentle and there are a number of fences to cross.

Twentieth stage of the Camino de Santiago. For this stage, leave the Margeride for the Aubrac. You’ll realise you’re in the Aubrac when the trees disappear – and it’s absolutely stunning! The colours, the landscapes, the cows, the silence, the sky, the rocks. You’ll feel tiny in the face of nature’s immensity.

This third stage of the Tour des Monts d'Aubrac is one of the most varied. It contrasts the crossing of the wild, desert-like expanses of the Monts d'Aubrac in the first half with the coolness of the Aubrac National Forest and the Tourbières Nature Reserve in the second half. From the Buron des Rajas, isolated at an altitude of 1,300 metres, the stage ends in the small village of Saint-Chély-d'Aubrac, at the bottom of the Boralde de Saint-Chély valley, 500 metres lower down.

The Aubrac is a granite plateau partly covered in basalt. A vast grazing area for the famous Aubrac cattle, it is criss-crossed by numerous paths, the most famous of which is the Way of St James, the Via Podensis starting from Le Puy-en-Velay. This short five-day Tour of the Monts d'Aubrac allows you to explore the southern half, passing through iconic locations such as Aumont-Aubrac, Prinsuéjols, Les Rajas, Saint-Chely-d'Aubrac, Aubrac, and Nasbinals.

This second, long stage, which is partly shaded, ends at Buron des Rajas, at the foot of Signal de Mailhebiau, the highest point in Aveyron, in a vast, wild desert landscape.

Four-day loop in Aubrac to discover the landscapes of Lozère, with stages of around 20 km. This route mainly follows the GRP® Tour des Monts d'Aubrac (yellow and red markings) and the GR® 65 (Way of St James) in the opposite direction.

First stage of a four-day circuit. Magnificent landscapes of the Aubrac and a route with many shaded sections. Option to climb up to Signal de Mailhebiau once you arrive at the refuge (don't hesitate to ask the owners). This hike mainly follows the GRP® Tour des Monts d'Aubrac (yellow and red markings).

Do you want to commune with nature, admire its beauty at the slow pace of walking, walk to get to know yourself better, get back to basics, push yourself: set off on an adventure along the Camino de Santiago. That’s what I’m offering you with this route. I set off from my village in the Jura (the first six stages are not part of the signposted routes of the Camino de Santiago) to reach Santiago de Compostela in Spain, but there’s nothing stopping you from setting off from your own home to join the route at any stage, starting from Le Puy-en-Velay or any other town along the way. .

This last stage of the Tour de l'Aubrac, shared with theGR®®65Chemin de Saint-Jacques de Compostelle à l'envers, once again showcases the vast wilderness of the Aubrac plateau. In the last third of the stage, which is a little more shaded, you can admire the imposing granite bell tower of the Church of La Chaze-de-Peyre and the Chapel of La Bastide.
