Departure from Cheylade (Cantal)
This two-day hike, starting from Cheylade, will take you along roads and paths through a wide variety of landscapes.
On the first day, it’s a mountain hike. You’ll explore the Quirous trail, the Limon Plateau and the Puy de Niermont, with a 360° view of the Cantal, Sancy and Cézallier mountains.
On the second day, the focus is on heritage and exploration. This return leg, which is designed to be easier and shorter, will allow you to take your time admiring the Étang de Lascourt, the Pic du Christ with its observation tower, the Lac des Cascades and its waterfalls, as well as the church in Cheylade.

A very beautiful (and fairly short) stage, partly along the ridge with views of Puy Mary. A magnificent basalt plateau from Le Luchard onwards.
The route leads to the Puy Mary lodge, about 1.5 km beyond the village.

Departure from Le Falgoux (Cantal)
Magnificent panoramic views over the Falgoux valley and Puy Mary, passing through the mountain pastures and over a hilltop before descending into the forest near the small cross-country ski resort of Les Chamilloux and arriving at the Étang de Lascourt with Puy Mary in the background. We were able to see numerous flowers on the mountain pasture (notably Martagon lilies, arnica and gentian), a flock of sheep with its Patou dog, as well as a group of horses.

Departure from Laveissière (Cantal)
Stage 2 of our Tour du Cantal / GR®400. A long and challenging stage due to the heat in June. It might be better to split the stages differently. Some very beautiful sections, particularly the arrival on the ridge before Puy Mary, the area around Puy de la Tourte, etc. More difficult sections: the Brèche de Rolland, the Luchard plateau and the long descent to Falgoux. It should be noted that the ascent of Puy Mary is not compulsory.

Departure from Laveissière (Cantal)
Stage 1 of our Tour du Cantal / GR®400
First "glitch" of the route from Murat. It turns out that the GR®400 route has been changed due to right of way issues (from what we understand). So, instead of climbing from Murat up to the ridges and following them to the Bec de l'Aigle rock, we had to descend to the village of Laveissière and climb back up from La Bourgeade. We decided to start from Laveissière.
