Jonte (rivière) walks
The Méjean cliff path
Perhaps the most beautiful walk along the Causse Méjean, which traditionally starts out from Le Rozier.
Here, by starting on the cliff top, there is less vertical drop, as you stay between 870 and 720m the whole way.
As well as breath-taking scenery, you can see vultures circling above you and even below you on the cliffs!
The Hermitage of Saint-Michel and the cornices of the Causse Noir
A very beautiful hike along the Jonte Gorges on the ledges of the Causse Noir. Remains of the Saint-Michel hermitage. Close to vultures.
Between Tarn and Jonte
A very pretty loop that allows you to discover the Gorges du Tarn and then the Gorges de la Jonte.
After the climb to Rocher de Capluc, the arrival at the viewpoint offers a magnificent view of the Tarn Gorges and Le Rozier.
The route is a bit challenging but the views are sublime.
The elevation gain is actually 650 m and the distance is 12 km.
The Corniches du Méjean and Corniches du Tarn from Rozier
A beautiful, challenging circular hike with breathtaking views. The view from the Cinglegros rock is fantastic, but access is reserved for those who do not suffer from vertigo.
Puech Pounchut
This walk is located on the north side of the Aigoual massif in the Cevennes.
At the summit of the hike you will have a beautiful view of the Causse Mejean and the Valley of Jonte. On a clear day looking west you can see the Millau viaduct.
Circular from Roquedols Castle and Col de Tribe to Meyrueis
A short walk of a good two hours starting from the swimming pool car park. Pass by Roquedols Castle then the Col de Tribe before returning to Meyrueis.
The Hermitage of Saint-Michel from Peyreleau
A beautiful hike above Peyreleau with many points of interest: views of the Tarn valley and the Jonte gorges, vultures and eagles in flight, the ruins of the Hermitage of Saint-Michel and swimming in the Jonte on the way back. The most strenuous part is the first section to reach the viewpoint.
Jonte Balcony Circular Route
This hike offers some of the finest panoramic views from the ridges on both banks of the Jonte, taking you through the heart of the Causse Méjean and the Arcs de Saint-Pierre. It’s an alternative to the signposted routes, which each stay on a single bank, all in a circular route that can be completed in a long day!
Clockwise tour of the Causse Méjean starting from Meyrueis
Exclusively on marked trails, this tour offers a comprehensive overview of the Causse: wooded or barren sections, ascents and descents through the Gorges de la Jonte, a walk along the Gorges du Tarn, beautiful villages, a famous karstic cave (Aven Armand), ancient remains (dolmens, menhirs), vultures – nothing is missing. The stages are generally easy, allowing you to focus on the beauty of the landscapes you pass through.
Planned as a six-day tour, it can be completed in five days by combining the last two stages.
Circular Route of the Douzes via the Pellalergues and Castèle ravines
Starting from Les Douzes, a lovely (and short) hike through the “ravines” of Pellalergues on the way out, and La Castèle on the way back.
Best undertaken in dry weather (slippery ground, especially on the descent)
Le Rozier - Les Vignes
Thisthird stage of the Tour du Causse Méjean takes place entirely within the Gorges du Tarn. Following wide tracks or good footpaths, sometimes beneath overhanging rock formations, sometimes along the banks of the Tarn, this easy, shaded stage offers a very pleasant way to explore this part of the gorges.
Hyelzas - Le Rozier
Thissecond stage of the Tour du Causse Méjean crosses the lush south-western part of the Causse before descending to Le Rozier, at the confluence of the Tarn and the Jonte. Along the way, the beautiful church of Saint-Pierre-des-Tripiers, the Gallo-Roman village of Les Résiniers, and the Rocher de Capluc. The route described does not pass through the famous Vases de Chine and Sèvres above the Gorges de la Jonte; this more technical and better-known section can easily be found on other Visorando guides for those who are keen to see them.
Meyrueis – Hyelzas
Thisfirst stage of the Tour du Causse Méjean takes the hiker up onto the Causse from Meyrueis on the banks of the Jonte. A gentle climb to get you going, featuring a picturesque stretch before reaching the Causse, the Aven Armand, and a renowned cheese dairy at the entrance to the pretty hamlet of Hyelzas. If you arrive early enough, you may be able to visit the Ferme Caussenarde in Hyelzas.
Drigas – Meyrueis
This6th and final stage of the Tour du Causse Méjean crosses the desert-like expanses of the Causse before descending into the Gorges de la Jonte to Meyrueis. This short, easy stage can be combined with the5th stage from Mas-Saint-Chely to Drigas for those wishing to shorten the Tour to five days.
