Castelnau-de-Mandailles walks

This circular, which is very varied in every respect, is a wonderful way to discover the limestone plateaus, chestnut groves and pastures of the Lot valley. It offers views and passages through remarkable villages and hamlets.

From the village of Lassouts, you can look out over the rugged, wooded slopes of the Lot valley, with some truly exceptional views.

A contrasting hike through lush meadows and rich farmland on the plain or along the slopes, once covered with vineyards, with the medieval town of Saint-Côme-d'Olt in sight.

A very pleasant hike, starting in the shade of hazelnut and ash trees. Then, on the Roman road, you will encounter the beautiful Aubrac cows (in season) with superb views of the Lot valley. Saint-Chély-d'Aubrac is a stop on the Way of St James and its bridge is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the title "Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France".

You will meet many pilgrims in the first part of the hike, up to Belvezet, topped by its heavily eroded neck. A long stretch of road (caution for those allergic to tarmac!), although with very little traffic, takes you through the Saint-Chely-d'Aubrac valley to the mountain pastures, where you will only encounter beautiful Aubrac cows. Visit the village at the end of the hike.

A day on the majestic Aubrac plateau with its drovers' roads and pastures.This circuit can be combined with the Aubrac-Nasbinals round trip (published on Visorando), allowing you to create a two-day hike with an overnight stay in Nasbinals.

A route that first passes through the heights of the Boralde de Condom before descending into the valley of this forest-lined river. Two return trips to the edge of the boralde are added to this circular route to discover the ruins of a mill and an old bridge.

Take a very old path from the village of Flaujac, clinging to the slopes of the Boralde, and climb up to the plateau through woods and terraces.

A beautiful circular route on the heights of Condom-d'Aubrac, in the summer pastures of the Montagne des Enguilhens and through some beautiful sections of beech forest. Discover a memorial site of the Maquis Roland de l'Aubrac, the Grotte des Enguilhens.

From the village of Cayrol, on the edge of the Aubrac plateau, this hike takes us back to the deep gorges of a boralde where the Cistercian Abbey of Bonneval nestles in a solitary and peaceful spot conducive to contemplation.

Following the old railway line, which has been converted into a hiking trail, imagine what it was like when it was built a century ago (1905).

This walk through the woods offers panoramic views of the Lot valley and the villages of Saint-Geniez-d'Olt, Pomayrols and its castle. In fact, it's the Aveyron as we love it.

Discover the beautiful village of Cruejouls andexplore the local heritage: the wash house, the causse, the weighbridge, the Moulinou, the communal oven and the magnificent church. Follow the tarmac roads and paths and admire the heritage, the views of the village and the surrounding countryside.

A delightful route for exploring Sainte-Eulalie-d'Olt and its surroundings. A very pleasant walk through the valley, which forms a circular route with a visit to Sainte-Eulalie halfway along the route.

Short discovery walk among the pilgrims of Compostela, during a break in Aubrac.

If you want to get a taste of the pilgrim's life, this circuit is for you. It is a short round trip that can be done on its own. Combined with the One-Day Pilgrim's Tour of Aubrac (published on Visorando), it can be turned into a two-day hike with an overnight stay in Nasbinals.
