Croix de Bastide (Peyre-en-Aubrac) walks

This is the fourth and final stage of a four-day tour of the Aubrac region. You will follow part of the Compostela Way (GR®65) in the opposite direction and part of the GRP® Tour des Monts d'Aubrac. This stage has the most sections along roads (with little traffic).

Twentieth stage of the Camino de Santiago. For this stage, leave the Margeride for the Aubrac. You’ll realise you’re in the Aubrac when the trees disappear – and it’s absolutely stunning! The colours, the landscapes, the cows, the silence, the sky, the rocks. You’ll feel tiny in the face of nature’s immensity.

This second, long stage, which is partly shaded, ends at Buron des Rajas, at the foot of Signal de Mailhebiau, the highest point in Aveyron, in a vast, wild desert landscape.

First stage of a four-day circuit. Magnificent landscapes of the Aubrac and a route with many shaded sections. Option to climb up to Signal de Mailhebiau once you arrive at the refuge (don't hesitate to ask the owners). This hike mainly follows the GRP® Tour des Monts d'Aubrac (yellow and red markings).

Nineteenth stage of the Way of St James. This final stage in Margeride before crossing the Aubrac is fairly short and allows you to recover from the previous stages by visiting the pretty town of Aumont-Aubrac. You’ll be walking through a landscape of streams and mountain flora, with magnificent scenery!

This last stage of the Tour de l'Aubrac, shared with theGR®®65Chemin de Saint-Jacques de Compostelle à l'envers, once again showcases the vast wilderness of the Aubrac plateau. In the last third of the stage, which is a little more shaded, you can admire the imposing granite bell tower of the Church of La Chaze-de-Peyre and the Chapel of La Bastide.

Twenty-first stage of the Way of St James. For this short, downhill stage, you leave the Aubrac plateau to reach Saint-Chély-d'Aubrac, nestled in the heart of the valley carved out by the Boralde, halfway between the Aubrac plateau and the Lot valley.

This is the third stage of a four-stage circuit in Aubrac. You will follow most of the GR®65 (Chemin de Compostelle) in the opposite direction. A slight detour from the GR®65 is recommended so that you can admire the Cascade du Déroc waterfall.

This third stage of the Tour des Monts d'Aubrac is one of the most varied. It contrasts the crossing of the wild, desert-like expanses of the Monts d'Aubrac in the first half with the coolness of the Aubrac National Forest and the Tourbières Nature Reserve in the second half. From the Buron des Rajas, isolated at an altitude of 1,300 metres, the stage ends in the small village of Saint-Chély-d'Aubrac, at the bottom of the Boralde de Saint-Chély valley, 500 metres lower down.

Second stage of a four-day tour through the Aubrac countryside, between the Refuge des Rajas and Nasbinals via Aubrac. On this stage, you will mainly use the GRP® Tour des Monts d'Aubrac and part of the Way of St James in the opposite direction (GR®65).
