Curières walks

Through the forest, discover an ancient wolf pit and the Devèz waterfall. You'll then pass through a mountain pasture with a view towards Rodez.

A very accessible hike, with superb views over the Aubrac Plateau. You'll pass the Cascade du Déroc waterfall, one of the region's most remarkable sites.

Four new footbridges to span the canyon. They replace the ford crossings, which are often submerged by the Dourdou.

From the village of Niervèze, this route, mainly on summer pasture tracks, takes you to the summit of Puy Gros and its plateau, passing by some magnificent restored burons (privately-owned) and the old Cantal chapel, of which only a few ruins and a basalt cross remain. There is a magnificent view over the Cère valley and the main peaks, Puy Chavaroche, Puy Mary, Puy Griou, Peyre Arse, Téton de Vénus and Rocher du Bec de l'Aigle.

The highest peak in Europe's largest volcanic complex, the Plomb du Cantal (1,855 m) offers unobstructed views of the Monts-Dore (Puy-de-Sancy) to the north and the Cézallier and Aubrac plateaus to the south.
