Dadou (rivière) walks

Starting from the pretty site of the Arifat waterfalls, this hike alternates between forest passages and paths on gentle ridges where the view opens up over the surrounding mountains and valleys to offer beautiful panoramas, particularly stunning in autumn when the deciduous trees are ablaze with colour.

This is a lovely walk through the vineyards and fields of Briatexte, ideal in winter. Dotted among the valleys and hills are pigeon lofts and distant bell towers. The few sections of road do not detract from the charm of these rural landscapes.

A beautiful getaway to recharge your batteries in the boxwood woods, crossing the Dadou river at times. This loop is a 2 km longer variation on the classicPR® Chemin des Vallées du Travet circuit.

This hike starts in Saint-Paul d'Arifat and first follows the Dadou river to the Razisse reservoir, then to the magnificent Puech del Fau viewpoint. The return route takes you through the small village of Mont-Roc, where you should be sure to visit the orientation table. White water, small rocky peaks and pretty views form the backdrop to this circular route, in a varied, undulating landscape. Be careful of the dogs (5) at the Mouline du Viguier!

Valleys, streams and rocky peaks punctuate this circular route, which takes us down from Roquegardie to Dadounet and then back up to Mont Roc and its orientation table. The return route passes by the Razisse reservoir and its dam. A wild, serene route full of beautiful energy.

Starting from Saint-Michel de Léon, this ‘nature’ route alternates between forest and open sections, offering stunning views of the Dadou valley, following both its slopes. Apart from a few short sections, most of the route follows very gentle gradients, allowing walkers plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings.

The Travanet trail offers exceptional diversity in terms of landscape and heritage. It is situated in the southernmost part of the Réalmontais, a mountainous area close to the Montredonnais and the Arifat waterfalls. The start is in the hamlet of Travanet. It continues uphill to the highest point in the area (483m), offering a panoramic view of the Réalmontais before descending to the banks of the Dadou. A trail of community interest created by the Centre Tarn Tourist Office. See § Practical information.

A pleasant mountain bike ride through the hills above Giroussens and in the Dadou valley,featuringvaried landscapes including woodland, forests, fields, farmland and vineyards. The same variety is found in the routes, paths, tracks, trails, local roads, and various paths and trails (natural, rural and urban) featuring stones, earth and grass. Some sections can be tricky in wet and rainy weather, particularly in cultivated fields on communal land.
