Head to Prunières, a village situated 5 km from the town of Saint-Chély-d’Apcher. At the first houses, turn right to reach the main square. Parking available.
(S/E) Opposite the Stèle des Anglais, follow the road to the right towards the village of Apcher. After the last house, turn left onto the wide path that leads through the pastures.
(1) At the junction, on the edge of the forest, turn left. The path leads to a pasture which you will cross, veering slightly to the left. Take another path opposite. Follow it to the next junction, then continue to the left to reach the road.
(2) Carry on to the right and follow this quiet road to the hamlet of La Valette. The path then runs alongside the River Truyère before beginning a long, steady climb.
(3) Halfway up the hill, turn left onto a small path which will take you close to the village of Les Cayres.
(4) At the high-voltage pylon, turn right, join a wide track and follow it to the road.
(5) Walk alongside it on the right for about 200 m, then take the path on your right. Continue to the next junction.
(6) Then turn left. Cross the road carefully and follow a wide path opposite, which climbs steeply.
(7) At the crossroads, take the path on your right and head towards the village of Apcher; walk through the village until you reach a small square where there is a large granite cross and a ferradou.
(8) Then turn right (signposted ‘equestrian trail’), pass between the houses and follow the path downhill, lined with low walls, to the next junction.
(9) Continue to the left. At the second bend, leave this track and take a small path on the right, which you’ll follow until you reach the road.
(10) Follow the road to the left to reach the village of Prunières, passing the junction from the outward journey to return to your starting point (S/E).
