Langeac walks

A former mining area, with a few remains but above all a long, flat path that used to be a railway line.

A pleasant circular loop on the west bank of the Allier. From the Costet bridge north of Langeac to the viewpoint on the Biot cliff, with a detour through the charming villages of Truchon and Cerzat. Stops at beautiful stretches of river where you may see fly fishers. Return to the car park along the river.

A walk along the Ramade Valley. Starting from Reilhac, passing through Langec and Volmadet, then descending through the villages of Guérin and Francon, before returning via Peyrusse and Le Chambon.

Circular with the highest point halfway along the route, offering superb views of Langeac surrounded by mountains.

This walk, through woods and alongside the river, follows mainly wide paths. In particular, it follows old routes used before the construction of the current roads inthe 19th century. It links four villages and hamlets in the commune of Chanteuges.

After a climb offering a beautiful view of the Chanteuges Abbey site, the route winds through the woods to Pébrac. It then follows paths overlooking the Desges Valley as far as Chanteuges.

A short walk around Chanteuges, combining the cool banks of the Desges with a section of the old road from Brioude to Saugues (until 1825), offering lovely views of the Desges and Allier valleys.

A short walk around Chanteuges to the banks of the Allier. It first crosses the village’s paved slanting streets beneath the old abbey, then passes through La Vialle – which was undoubtedly the village’s original settlement – before reaching the banks of the Allier and then a section of the old road from Saugues to Brioude (in use until 1825).

The route follows part of the old track from Langeac to Saugues (before the current road was built around 1825), then the old track from Chanteuges to Prades. It is a particularly beautiful walk above Saint-Julien-des-Chazes and around Le Chausse.

After a climb offering a fine view of the Chanteuges Abbey site, the route winds through meadows and woods, linking three of the hamlets in the commune of Chanteuges: Féry, Fromenty and La Bretagnolle.

A beautiful long loop, rich in scenery and built heritage, on the heights of the Allier.

Set off to explore the pretty little village of Cerzat, with its oven, church and wash house. Along the way, you'll enjoy beautiful views of Margeride and the plateau. The highlight of the walk is entering the Pié du Roi volcano and discovering the small lake that occupies what remains of the crater. You'll love this walk through the nature of the Hautes-Pyrénées.

A very beautiful walk. The route offers stunning views over the Allier valley from the Chemin de Darne, as well as from the waterfall right up to the finish.

A moderately difficult walk suitable for families, taking you through woods, hills and forests of beech, oak and fir trees.

A circular walk starting from Prades that leads to Charraix, a village known for its ‘crosses with balls’. From the Allier Gorges to the foothills of the Margeride, a magnificent walk through the characteristic landscapes of the Haute-Loire, with its basalt columns and granite boulders scattered across the meadows.

At the start of the route, the Senouire accompanies you to Sainte-Marguerite. After Barbason, the Ribeyrette greets you as it flows into the Senouire. Sainte-Marguerite welcomes you with its history and tranquillity. A superb panorama awaits you at Le Rif. Walk around the hamlet and see the rounded corners of some of the houses. Continue the route towards La Vizade and rejoin the Senouire at Barbanson.

This circular path offers a continuous and exceptional panorama of the Allier valley. The path is made up of rounded stones, where you can sometimes see the tracks of the iron wheels of carts. Although today the landscape is a heath where bushes, broom and prickly pears grow, before the phylloxera attack it was an important vineyard. As you pass through the village of Chazieux and the old town of Saint-Ilpize, you will notice numerous wine cellars. Today, the vineyard is being revived. Vines are planted in the village of Auzat on the left bank and the old grape varieties are preserved in the vine conservatory located before the village of Chazieux.
