Chastel-Nouvel walks
Around the hamlets of Asprettes and La Fagette
A pleasant hike through oak and beech forests to discover the Fagette waterfall and the hamlets of Asprettes and La Fagette, with their superb granite houses and old ovens.
Tour of Lake Charpal
Hike around Lake Charpal in a completely unspoilt protected natural site. The path does not stray far from the lake, so the elevation gain is very low and the route is easy. Much of the route is through woodland, ideal in summer when it is hot.
Bramont Gorges and the hamlet of La Borie
Walk up the Bramont Gorges and explore a magnificent and picturesque area with its steep cliffs and turbulent river. This unusual landscape offers a pleasant cool spot in summer.
Pass through the small village of drystone shelter, with its typical Causse houses, located in the foothills of the Mont Lozère massif.
Le Bleymard - Pont-de-Montvert
Eighth stage of a complete journey on the Chemin de Stevenson between Le Puy-en-Velay and Alès. This stage may involve significant changes from the GR®70 signposting, and corresponds to the North-South crossing of the Mont Lozère massif.
The Bieissette Chestnut Grove and the gardens of Ispagnac
Located at the crossroads of the Grands Causses, Mont Lozère and the Cévennes valleys, the Ispagnac valley boasts a wide variety of geological features. Limestone, granite and schist blend together, creating diverse landscapes shaped by the nature of the subsoil. This trail, which runs along the foot of the Causse Méjean, offers you a walk through a schistose terroir.
The Petit Poucet trail on the Cham des Bondons
Menhirs are found in Brittany. The proof: the name itself is of Breton origin (maen hir = long stone). And even more so when they are made of granite.
But if I told you that one of Europe's main megalithic sites is in Lozère, would you believe me?
The standing stones along this route at the foot of Mont Lozère are like those scattered by Tom Thumb: just follow them to find your way.
The sources of the Lot
Walk along the first few kilometres of the Lot to its source, between forests and meadows.
From Col des Issartets to Lac du Moulinet via Le Batifolier
Beautiful route between Aubrac and Margeride on the Terre de Peyre trails amid Scots pines, via Moulinet Lake.
Four days in Aubrac on a loop starting from Le Buisson
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.

Short circuit starting from La Condamine
An easy hike in the mineral world of the Causse Méjean: a plateau marked by both austerity and gentle tranquillity. You will stroll through a landscape full of curves, between hills and sinkholes at the bottom of which you will discover a lavogne (a small, circular depression in the ground) or a small cultivated field: one of the characteristic landscapes of the UNESCO-listed sites. (Route information provided by the Gorges du Tarn, Causses & Cévennes tourist office).
Mont Lozère from Finiels
Mont Lozère rises to 1,699 metres, making it the highest point in the Cévennes. However, its geological nature sets it apart from the rest of the massif. This imposing granite wall closes off the schist valleys of the Cévennes and heralds the high plateaus of southern Auvergne. It also offers magnificent views of all the peaks of the southern Massif Central, as far as Mont Ventoux. Best explored in good weather.
Mont Lozère from the Col de Finiels
Discover Mont Lozère on a very pleasant circular route through alpine pastures and then forest. This is a very enjoyable walk that is sure to delight young and old alike.
The Causse Méjean from Saint-Chély du Tarn
In the heart of the Tarn Gorges, Saint-Chély du Tarn is a little gem nestled in the cirque of the same name. Its wealth comes from the limestone plateau above and the bridge that crosses the river. What a contrast between the cool, green gorge and the arid plateau! But these are two sides of the same interactive landscape. It's up to you to discover them.
Florac - Cassagnas
Tenth stage of a complete journey on the Chemin de Stevenson between Le Puy-en-Velay and Alès. This stage may involve significant changes to the GR®70 signposting. This stage essentially follows the Mimente valley before it flows into the Tarnon at Florac.
Margeride and its hamlets
