Park in the hamlet of Les Sagnes, which is a peatland
(S/E) At the village entrance sign, “Les Sagnes”, follow the tarmac road up to the corner of the large house on the right (opposite, you can see the Clocher des Tourmente). Continue right for 20 m and take the first path on the right between the houses in the hamlet. Follow this path, pass a ruined building, go past a trough (or what remains of it) and then, at the cross, turn sharply left and continue slightly uphill to reach the crossroads just before the Croix du Peyrou.
(1) Continue right along this road, pass the Croix du Peyrou and you will then come to a T-junction.
(2) Continue straight ahead, then take the right-hand path at the three-way junction that follows. Descend slightly to the Ravin des Pradelles, then climb back up through the woods before descending again to reach a junction of three tracks and theGR®® route.
(3) Ignore the tracks and take the path on the right markedGR®® and signposted “le Tour du Mont Lozère”, which heads towards the bottom of the valley. Continue downhill, cross another valley and continue along the hillside until you reach the hamlet of Auriac.
(4) Cross the hamlet and continue left along theGR®® trail, following the red and white markings. You will reach a trail junction on a flat stretch.
(5) Leave theGR®® here and turn right onto the path. Continue the climb through the Bois du Peyrou. Leave the woods and finish the climb at the Y-junction you passed on the way out.
(2) Head back along the outward route in the opposite direction to the left, then return to the Croix du Peyrou junction.
(1) Turn onto the path on the right and continue the descent to return to the Clocher de Tourmente car park on the peatland at Les Sagnes (S/E).
