Creissels walks
With Monsieur Clapassou above Creissels
This route offers superb views of Millau and its viaduct. Leaving the valley, you reach the legendary Larzac Plateau.
Creissels Waterfalls, Tournal Mill and St-Martin Cirque
Starting from Creissels, there is a combination of marked trails, created on the initiative of the Millau Grands Causses Community of Communes, allowing you to discover the area by following in the footsteps of Mr Clapassou. (Symbolic iron signpost in the shape of a pile of stones)
Don't miss the Creissels waterfalls, the Moulin de Tournal mill and the Cirque de St-Martin (or Cirque du Boundoulaou). At the end of the route, you can visit the lower, very pretty part of the village, right on the banks of the Tarn.
Boundoulaou viewpoint and Creissels waterfall
A loop passing by the Creissels waterfalls, with return trips to enjoy the heights of the Causse du Larzac and the viewpoint overlooking the Millau Viaduct and the Cirque du Boundoulaou.
The chaos of Caoussou
With all due respect to its illustrious neighbour (the Montpellier-le-Vieux site), the Caoussou chaos is a ruiniform formation rich in concretions, certainly more modest but just as interesting to discover.
A family walk with a gradient suitable for both young and old.
Comberoumal Priory
This walk was created by the Pays de la Muse et des Raspes Tourist Office. A very pleasant walk, even in summer, as it is often in the shade. During the season, admire the splendid rosebushes in the streets of Saint-Beauzély.
Tournemire and the cliffs of Larzac
A beautiful hike on the Causse du Larzac to admire the Cirque du Brias, commonly known as the Cirque de Tournemire. It is surrounded by one of the most beautiful cliffs on the western edge of the Larzac, from the top of which you can enjoy a vast panorama. The best time to visit is May/June to admire all the flowers on the causse.
Continue towards Viala-du-Pas-de-Jaux with its magnificent restored hospital tower.
The ladder trail around Roquefort-sur-Soulzon
This walk offers an original perspective on the Roquefort region from above, between Lévézou, the Tournemire cirque, an old sheepfold and the Larzac plateau. The final section passes close to the Roquefort caves and crosses the village's main street to return to the starting point.
Chaos de Roquesaltes
Starting from the charming village of La Roque-Sainte-Marguerite, this hike first leads to the remarkable Roquesaltes rock formations, highlighted by a discovery trail dotted with informative and fun signs suitable even for the youngest hikers. After exploring the magnificent Causse farm of the same name, the circuit continues on the Causse Noir and leads to the site of Montméjean, dominated by the ruins of its castle. A beautiful trail leads back to the village, where you can stop to discover the 12th-century Sainte-Marguerite d'Antobe Church before descending via a beautiful paved slanting street to the banks of the Dourbie, where a swim in the summer months is a refreshing and pleasant way to end the circuit.
The Abbé Coste trail
Built during the time of the Hospitallers, the granary tower of Viala-du-Pas-de-Jaux is the starting point for this circular loop through a sumptuous agropastoral landscape. Formed by karst erosion, the cirque of Saint-Paul-des-Fonts, village of the botanist Hippolyte Coste to whom an area is dedicated, offers a breathtaking spectacle.
Fontaneilles Pedestal Trail
Hike in the hills above the Tarn Valley, around the medieval castle of Peyrelade.
The Rochers de Roques Altès and the Corniches du Rajol
You will discover this dolomitic ruin hidden in the pine woods, but it is at the edge of the cliffs overlooking the Dourbie that the cornices of the Rajol will reveal their majesty.
What can be said about the Dantesque beauty of the stone giants of Roques Altès? Appreciate the voluptuous curves of the roofs of the eponymous farm.
A family walk that oscillates between enchantment and dreaminess.
The Hermitage of Saint-Michel from Peyreleau
A beautiful hike above Peyreleau with many points of interest: views of the Tarn valley and the Jonte gorges, vultures and eagles in flight, the ruins of the Hermitage of Saint-Michel and swimming in the Jonte on the way back. The most strenuous part is the first section to reach the viewpoint.
The Hermitage of Saint-Michel and the cornices of the Causse Noir
A very beautiful hike along the Jonte Gorges on the ledges of the Causse Noir. Remains of the Saint-Michel hermitage. Close to vultures.
The Méjean cliff path
Perhaps the most beautiful walk along the Causse Méjean, which traditionally starts out from Le Rozier.
Here, by starting on the cliff top, there is less vertical drop, as you stay between 870 and 720m the whole way.
As well as breath-taking scenery, you can see vultures circling above you and even below you on the cliffs!
The Corniches du Méjean and Corniches du Tarn from Rozier
A beautiful, challenging circular hike with breathtaking views. The view from the Cinglegros rock is fantastic, but access is reserved for those who do not suffer from vertigo.
Between Tarn and Jonte
A very pretty loop that allows you to discover the Gorges du Tarn and then the Gorges de la Jonte.
After the climb to Rocher de Capluc, the arrival at the viewpoint offers a magnificent view of the Tarn Gorges and Le Rozier.
The route is a bit challenging but the views are sublime.
The elevation gain is actually 650 m and the distance is 12 km.
Encountering vultures
A walk to discover vultures in the cliffs of the Jonte.
Please note that the elevation gain calculated automatically by the app is incorrect; it is only about 600 m.
Mont Seigne
The Haut Lévézou seen from the summit of Mont Seigne (1121m). You will have a 360° view of the Monts d'Aubrac, Mont Lozère, the Cévennes, the Causses, the Monts de l'Espinouse... To get there, take the district roads and dirt tracks used by farmers and foresters. At the summit, an orientation table will give you all the information you need on a 360° view.
The Canalettes loop
