Le Truel walks

This route alternates between climbs (sometimes steep...), descents (just as steep...!), narrow paths and tracks, and a bit of road too. You pass through steep-sided valleys and very pretty hilltop villages, and most of the time you walk along a balcony-like path above the Tarn, a river with emerald-green waters (well, almost...).

A beautiful hike starting from Ayssènes in the little-known Tarn region, culminating at the Notre-Dame-du-Désert chapel. Beautiful panoramic views of the Gorges du Tarn and the Lévézou hills. Despite numerous shaded sections, avoid doing this hike in the heat of the day or in wet weather due to the significant elevation gain.

A contrasting walk, between panoramic views from a historic hilltop site and the shores of Lake Villefranche, with its footpath passing through the green landscapes typical of the Lévézou. Moderator's note problem with the passage between (9) and (10), see the notice dated 14/07/2022, and the description between (8) and (9).

In the heart of the Rougier de Camarès and crossed by the Dourdou, the medieval village of Saint-Izaire welcomes us with its imposing suspension bridge, its red sandstone church and its 14th-century castle (former residence of the bishops of Vabres l'Abbaye). You will be charmed by this delightful village, where the sun gives the red stone facades a flamboyant appearance.

Discover an ancient silver mining village and troglodyte dwellings. This walk immerses us in history and heritage. Take the time to make a detour to the hamlet of Le Minier, which was once famous for its silver mines. Yellow markings.

The Peyrebrune Tower is accessible on foot or by car from several villages. Pilgrimages take place regularly from these different starting points. Here, the departure point is from the village of Alrance.

In the heart of the Rougier, the village of Viala du Dourdou, in a dominant position, offers easy hiking and surprising views in the Grands Causses Regional Natural Park.

Perched on a rocky promontory, at the confluence of the Tarn and Alrance rivers, the magnificent small village of Brousse-le-Château is noted for its exceptional location.

Overhanging path offering magnificent views of the Tarn valley, Brousse-le-Château and the Lévézou. Yellow markings along the entire route.

In fine weather, the views from Caylus Rock are superb. The walk ends with a tour of the town centre.

This hike starts along a shaded stream, climbs to the Lévézou plateaus with their unobstructed views, and ends in the woods.

A pleasant walk alongside wind turbines on a shaded part of the route, offering varied landscapes.

A short hike offering a superb view of Lake Pareloup, one of the largest artificial lakes in France.

This route, set amid stone landscapes and valleys, allows you to discover the Occitan crosses that mark the entire route around Coupiac and its castle. A patchwork of hills and valleys along the route will delight the eye.

The Haut Lévézou seen from the summit of Mont Seigne (1121m). You will have a 360° view of the Monts d'Aubrac, Mont Lozère, the Cévennes, the Causses, the Monts de l'Espinouse... To get there, take the district roads and dirt tracks used by farmers and foresters. At the summit, an orientation table will give you all the information you need on a 360° view.
