(S/E) From the Tourist Office car park at Place de la Rivière, head up Avenue de Rodez to the left, following theGR®62and GTML signposts.
(1) At the junction with the Route de Laissac, head up the Rue de l'EDF opposite, then take the Rue de la Coste Vieille. Walk past the secondary school and, at the end of the street, turn left twice.
(2) Carefully cross the D611 road and head down towards La Valette , carefully crossing the D911. There, take a path leading towards the banks of the Viaure
(3) Follow the riverbank along a footpath, then a stony track climbing through the woods to the road to Saint-Georges-de-Camboulas.
(4) Leave theGR®, turn left to reach the oratory and the church, where you can admire the tympanum. To the north is a sarcophagus carved directly into the rock. At the far end of the cemetery, take the path marked in yellow which descends to the Viaur. Paved with schist slabs, it leads to the Pont de Saint-Georges.
(5) Turn left immediately after crossing the bridge. Cross the small stream and take a narrow path that climbs steeply. At the top, with the Roquette farm in view, turn left. After the chestnut trees, the field of ferns offers a lovely view. The path descends steeply through the beech woods to cross the Ruisseau de Bage over stones.
(6) Opposite, climb the winding path which leads to a ridge, passing under a power line.
(7) A wide path with views of Pont-de-Salars and the Bage dam leads straight to the Route de Puech-Ventoux.
(8) Take the path on the left that goes downhill, go round a shed on the left and head down towards the viaduct to pass under the first pier.
(9) Climb back up the other side, then head back down alongside the woods and down the embankment. Follow the path leading to the river and cross the footbridge towards the car park.
On your left, you will find the Place de la Rivière car park (S/E).
We took a wrong turn at point 6, after crossing the Bage stream over the stones,
you need to head up quickly to reach the ridge.
