A short, idyllic walk along farm tracks, through a lovely wood of pine and beech trees, before returning gently downhill towards the village of Lavergne and its old farmhouses, typical of 19th-century Auvergne rural architecture. You can take a break on the sturdy stone bench, which is also your starting point. It is only 40 years old and has nothing in common with a menhir apart from the raw material from which both monuments are made! A lovely walk, ideal for families or to start your day!

Come and discover the magnificent Aubrac plateau from Saint-Urcize, classified as a "petite cité de caractère" (small town of character), with its granite houses and beautiful Romanesque church. You're sure to enjoy this varied hike: you'll walk high up in the summer pastures, then descend to the paths of the Saint-Urcize forest and finish by following the Hère river, which will reveal its waterfalls.Avoid this hike in very hot weather!

An easy walk along farm tracks and quiet country lanes, offering the chance to explore the small village of La Terrisse and, from the nearby hills, 360° views of the Aubrac plateau, the Cantal mountains and the Lot valley.

This walk allows you to explore a large part of the hamlets around the village of Oradour, following well-maintained farm tracks and footpaths. It passes through the hamlets, alternating between meadows and fields, woods and views over the countryside and the Truyère valley. When passing through Chabannes, be sure to climb up to Le Cheyla to admire the panoramic view (orientation table) stretching as far as the Aubrac to the south. The walk starts and finishes at the village square in Oradour, which is well worth a visit and where you can have a chat and enjoy a drink at the community-run bistro on the village square.

Hike across the vast plateaus of Aubrac, from Saint-Urcize to Dômerie d'Aubrac. Allow a good six hours to complete the circular hike, but it is best to set off early if you want to fully enjoy the magnificent, unspoilt landscapes that await you.

This is an easy walk offering 360° views of the Aubrac plateau to the west, the Cantal mountains to the north and the Rouergue hills to the east. The walk starts just after the hamlet of Soulages in the commune of Cassuéjouls.

There’s no need to kerb up with a mask, snorkel and flippers to reach Magnac, a village now submerged beneath the waters of the Bès – a tributary of the Truyère – following the flooding caused by the Grandval dam, simply to discover a few graves in the old cemetery, which was spared. ThePR® route was followed in the opposite direction to the signposting to stop at a picnic table near the old cemetery, but it had been stolen! The climb up the Ravin des Charbonnières is rather steep and in full sun, as the author discovered (23/09). Walking in the opposite direction to the official route is therefore no longer worthwhile, but this guide has retained it. The choice is yours!

Over the centuries, the Truyère has carved out deep gorges which, with the rising water levels caused by the construction of the Grandval and Lanau dams, have given way to a natural landscape of surprising and contrasting beauty: islands and peninsulas, cirques with distant shores, mysterious meanders, narrow gorges opening onto vast expanses of water, a wooded valley… Following the PR la Mourache route, the walk offers magnificent views from the embankment supporting the Alleuze road. Walking the route in the opposite direction offers more shade, but do keep an eye out for the signposting – which, to be honest, is rather sparse.

A hike mainly through forest, offering access to two superb viewpoints over the vast Aubrac plateau.

A circular in the heights of the Ruisseau de la Nuech valley, crossing summer pastures and some undergrowth, a short visit to the centre of Laguiole, and finally, a short loop along the Ruisseau du Vayssaire and an arboretum, to discover the beautiful Cascade de l'Oule waterfall.GRP®® or Visorando app useful on one section

A hike with beautiful views over Laguiole and the Monts d’Aubrac, as well as the Monts du Cantal. 360° panorama. If you wish to do the hike in winter, we advise against making the return trip to the Cascade des Oules (icy path, difficult with snowshoes).

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.

It is a real delight to cycle across the Aubrac plateau, traversing its gentle hills whose summits offer sweeping views, where the low stone walls form a pastoral pattern that tells the story of this region with its distinct character.

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.

Depending on the season, you may encounter numerous cows, flowers everywhere, or even snow and fog.

A walk, just for a break, in this village frequented by pilgrims on their way to Compostela.

As its name suggests, this hike offers sweeping views of the Aubrac plateau, creating a kind of horizontal vertigo. To enjoy these views, you will need to climb two volcanic hills, which are not difficult. The villages of Rieutort and Marchastel boast beautiful heritage sites.
