Cubières walks

A pleasant hike accessible to all on the roof of the Cévennes with exceptional landscapes throughout the route.

Walk along the first few kilometres of the Lot to its source, between forests and meadows.

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.

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.

This hike, starting from the Col de Finiels in the heart of Mont Lozère, takes us along the ridge of Mont Lozère, where the magnificent views allow us to look out over the Cévennes National Park. We then witness the very source of a great river, from the very first stream known as ‘Le Tarn’, right up to the first stone bridge spanning it. The route passes through Mas Camargues, a farming village in the Causses des Cévennes, which may date back to the Knights Hospitaller of Saint John of Jerusalem. Returning via the ancient Roman road ensures we have completed a magnificent journey that brings together nature, history and geography.

The Col de Finiels is the road crossing over Mont Lozère, between its two peaks, Finiels and Pic Cassini. This means that, once out of the woods, on the moors and peaks, the views are extraordinary, sometimes to the south over the Cévennes, to the north over the chain of volcanoes, and to the east, further away, when the weather is clear, over the Alps.

The hamlet of Bergognon is situated in the commune of Altier near Villefort in the Cévennes National Park. Magnificent views over the Altier valley, the fields and the cows!

This hike starts at Grand Altier and takes you to Le Fossat via a series of forest paths with varied atmospheres. The return journey is via another forest path that runs alongside a river and takes you over a pretty bridge. Please note that some sections are not cleared of undergrowth, so watch out for ticks, snakes, etc. Take a stick with you to defend yourself if necessary, but avoid interacting with them as much as possible. In addition, you will pass through some areas where herds of cows graze, so avoid interacting with them as well.

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.

A circular route starting from Les Sagnes, passing through the hamlet of Auriac, across meadows and through woods.You can also see the two Clochers de Tourmente and, in the distance, the Château du Tournel.

Route starting from the Clocher de Tourmente in the hamlet of Les Sagnes. Hike in the Cévennes National Park. Former Étang du Peschio, Croix de Maitre Vidal, panoramic view of the Monts Lozère, Étang de Barrandon.

A shaded hike through the beech and pine forests of the Goulet mountain. You will follow part of the GR®70, the famous Stevenson Trail, named after the journey made through the Cévennes in 1878 by Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson, accompanied by a donkey.

Circular walk to the summit of Moure de la Gardille at an altitude of over 1,500 metres. Depart from Mirandol via the old Chemin de la Balade trail, heading towards Airolle and the Sources de l'Allier, and return via Sogne Longue and Les Mouleyres.

Seventh stage of a complete journey on the Chemin de Stevenson between Le Puy-en-Velay and Alès. This stage may include significant changes to the GR®70 signposting, and represents the end of the section corresponding to the crossing of the Gévaudan.

A long route on good paths, allowing you to maintain a good walking pace, all at an altitude of over 1,100 metres. A long, steady climb leads to the Moure de la Gardille: a superb view! You then descend to the source of the Allier, before setting off on a long trek through the forest. It’s cool, perhaps a little monotonous (few viewpoints), but the winding route means you need to stay alert. The app is highly recommended. You then walk along the Allier to reach Chabalier. The final stretch is fairly easy, but it gets hot on the narrow roads and well-maintained paths.

From the lodge of Mas de la Barque, take a trip to the hamlet of Gourdouse.

A very short hike to admire a magnificent waterfall that flows all year round.
