Le Born (Lozère) walks

Hike around Lake Charpal in a completely unspoilt protected natural site. The path does not stray far from the lake, so the elevation gain is very low and the route is easy. Much of the route is through woodland, ideal in summer when it is hot.

Eighth stage of a complete journey on the Chemin de Stevenson between Le Puy-en-Velay and Alès. This stage may involve significant changes from the GR®70 signposting, and corresponds to the North-South crossing of the Mont Lozère massif.

Walk along the first few kilometres of the Lot to its source, between forests and meadows.

Menhirs are found in Brittany. The proof: the name itself is of Breton origin (maen hir = long stone). And even more so when they are made of granite. But if I told you that one of Europe's main megalithic sites is in Lozère, would you believe me? The standing stones along this route at the foot of Mont Lozère are like those scattered by Tom Thumb: just follow them to find your way.

A shaded hike through the beech and pine forests of the Goulet mountain. You will follow part of the GR®70, the famous Stevenson Trail, named after the journey made through the Cévennes in 1878 by Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson, accompanied by a donkey.

Seventh stage of a complete journey on the Chemin de Stevenson between Le Puy-en-Velay and Alès. This stage may include significant changes to the GR®70 signposting, and represents the end of the section corresponding to the crossing of the Gévaudan.

Fifth stage of a complete journey on the Chemin de Stevenson between Le Puy-en-Velay and Alès. This stage includes significant changes to the GR®70 signposting. Alternatives exist, notably to go directly to La Bastide-Puylaurent without passing through Notre-Dame-des-Neiges.

A very short hike to admire a magnificent waterfall that flows all year round.

Mont Lozère rises to 1,699 metres, making it the highest point in the Cévennes. However, its geological nature sets it apart from the rest of the massif. This imposing granite wall closes off the schist valleys of the Cévennes and heralds the high plateaus of southern Auvergne. It also offers magnificent views of all the peaks of the southern Massif Central, as far as Mont Ventoux. Best explored in good weather.

A walk to discover this pretty little medieval town in the Gorges du Tarn, one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in France".

Starting from the village of Grandrieu, this hike allows you to discover the small Margeride massif (formerly Gévaudan) and its typical granite villages. The route described was completed in half a day by young people (aged 7 to 11) from the Sentiers en Margeride hiking club. Difficulty: E2/T2/R1 (according to FFrandonnée classification).

An easy hike in the mineral world of the Causse Méjean: a plateau marked by both austerity and gentle tranquillity. You will stroll through a landscape full of curves, between hills and sinkholes at the bottom of which you will discover a lavogne (a small, circular depression in the ground) or a small cultivated field: one of the characteristic landscapes of the UNESCO-listed sites. (Route information provided by the Gorges du Tarn, Causses & Cévennes tourist office).

Ninth stage of a complete journey on the Chemin de Stevenson between Le Puy-en-Velay and Alès. This stage features significant changes to the GR®70 signposting, taking an alternative route to the GR®70 for much of the way. This means that the stage is substantially shorter than the official route. This stage marks the entry of the Chemin de Stevenson into the Cévennes region.

Tenth stage of a complete journey on the Chemin de Stevenson between Le Puy-en-Velay and Alès. This stage may involve significant changes to the GR®70 signposting. This stage essentially follows the Mimente valley before it flows into the Tarnon at Florac.

This hike, entirely above 1,300 m, takes in three places of interest not far from Mont Lozère. The first part takes in a landscape of wild moorland and leads to the sources of the Tarn, where the thin trickle of water gushing out from under the dense grass scarcely hints at the majestic gorges some thirty kilometres downstream. The route continues with the ascent of the Pic Cassini, offering a 360° panorama of the highest order, before leading under the dense foliage of the Mont Lozère Forest and then the Bois du Commandeur to the Pont du Tarn. Pont du Tarn is a popular spot for hikers, inviting you to stop, rest and swim in the summer months. Finally, all that remains is to reach the hamlet of l'Hôpital along a beautiful path lined with dry stone walls, which has surely been used by herds for centuries.

This is an easy hike that allows you to discover the different landscapes of Lozère, the Béal de Felgerolles, the Tarn and a few picturesque hamlets typical of Mont Lozère. It also offers beautiful views of the Cévennes landscape. The wooded sections make it particularly pleasant in hot weather.

In the heart of the Tarn Gorges, Saint-Chély du Tarn is a little gem nestled in the cirque of the same name. Its wealth comes from the limestone plateau above and the bridge that crosses the river. What a contrast between the cool, green gorge and the arid plateau! But these are two sides of the same interactive landscape. It's up to you to discover them.

This hike offers beautiful views of the Naussac Reservoir and the Rac de Langogne, and you can discover the small Donozau waterfall along beautiful paths.

A peaceful walk for the whole family along the Felgérolles irrigation channel to the Tarn bridge.

This beautiful loop allows you to discover the variety of landscapes in the south of Mont Lozère, including forests, pastures and granite hamlets on the plateau. There are superb views throughout the route. Some may find this hike challenging due to its length and elevation gain, but it offers magnificent views.
