Blavignac walks
The balconies of the Truyère
A superb hike, mostly through woods, to discover the wild and little-known Truyère gorges. Suitable for experienced walkers only due to the distance and elevation gain.
The Porte des Fées at the start of the Malzieu
A short walk leads to a majestic natural site and a perfect view of the Truyère Gorges. Be careful in rainy weather, however, as the area around the Porte des Fées can be slippery.
Mont Mouchet from the Croix du Fau
Discover the highest point of the Margeride and enjoy a 360° panorama of the Auvergne mountains. In good weather, you can also see the Alps and the Pyrenees.
The Valadour Footbridge in Chaliers
Starting from Loubaresse, near an exit from the A75 motorway, this route follows the GR® de Pays circular Boucle de la Truyère and a variant that "turns" around the Truyère river to the village of Chaliers, which is well worth taking the time to explore. The route takes small local roads on both the left and right banks of this river with its wild gorges, crossing it twice via footbridges at Valadour and Terran.
The actual duration of the route is 4 hours and 40 minutes (GPS watch data), including a short stop in Chaliers.
The Bès Gorges
This somewhat rugged circuit follows a narrow path along the Gorges du Bès and offers wonderful landscapes with the ruins of Arzenc d'Apcher Castle on the opposite bank (Lozère). The path then climbs slightly onto the plateau and the view widens beyond the gorges. Throughout the valley, a climbing site offers numerous equipped routes. Passing through the villages of Morsanges and Chazals, you can admire old bread ovens.
The Alleuze site
Between gorges and plateaus, this circuit offers varied landscapes and paths with superb views of the Alleuze site.

The Puy de la Tuile
The summit of Puy de la Tuile offers panoramic views of two regions (Occitanie and Auvergne) and five departments (Cantal, Puy-de-Dôme, Haute-Loire, Lozère and Aveyron). The beauty of this landscape, the moors, the peat bogs and their array of protected species fully justify the site's classification as a Sensitive Natural Area and its inclusion in the European Natura 2000 network.
