Maurines walks

This somewhat rugged circuit follows a narrow path along the Gorges du Bès and offers wonderful landscapes with the ruins of Arzenc d'Apcher Castle on the opposite bank (Lozère). The path then climbs slightly onto the plateau and the view widens beyond the gorges. Throughout the valley, a climbing site offers numerous equipped routes. Passing through the villages of Morsanges and Chazals, you can admire old bread ovens.

This hike will allow you to discover the surroundings of Chaudes-Aigues and the local agriculture based on livestock farming (beautiful Aubrac cows). Throughout the route, the flora is rich and varied.

The summit of Puy de la Tuile offers panoramic views of two regions (Occitanie and Auvergne) and five departments (Cantal, Puy-de-Dôme, Haute-Loire, Lozère and Aveyron). The beauty of this landscape, the moors, the peat bogs and their array of protected species fully justify the site's classification as a Sensitive Natural Area and its inclusion in the European Natura 2000 network.

Between gorges and plateaus, this circuit offers varied landscapes and paths with superb views of the Alleuze site.

Starting from Saint-Flour, this tour of the northern part of the Planèze de Saint-Flour allows you to appreciate the diversity of the landscapes of this high basalt plateau in just three days of walking. The stages in Paulhac and Valuéjols offer accommodation in stopover lodges. The route follows part of a variant of the GR® de Pays de Saint-Flour and part of the GR®4.

This is the first of three stages of the Saint-Flour Planèze tour. It is the longest stage, passing through several small villages typical of the Planèze with their bread ovens, which provide welcome shelter for a short break in rainy weather. The very quiet paths and small roads run alongside meadows grazed by numerous herds of cattle in season.

A lovely walk with very little elevation gain, mainly on good paths, alternating views of the Aubrac plateau, pine-covered meadows and light woods.

This is the fourth and final stage of a four-day tour of the Aubrac region. You will follow part of the Compostela Way (GR®65) in the opposite direction and part of the GRP® Tour des Monts d'Aubrac. This stage has the most sections along roads (with little traffic).

Come and discover the magnificent Aubrac plateau from Saint-Urcize, classified as a "petite cité de caractère" (small town of character), with its granite houses and beautiful Romanesque church. You're sure to enjoy this varied hike: you'll walk high up in the summer pastures, then descend to the paths of the Saint-Urcize forest and finish by following the Hère river, which will reveal its waterfalls.Avoid this hike in very hot weather!

Second stage of the Saint-Flour Planèze tour. This is the shortest and highest stage. It takes place in the foothills of the Plomb du Cantal and crosses the wildest parts of the circuit.

This second, long stage, which is partly shaded, ends at Buron des Rajas, at the foot of Signal de Mailhebiau, the highest point in Aveyron, in a vast, wild desert landscape.

A hike mainly through forest, offering access to two superb viewpoints over the vast Aubrac plateau.

Third and final stage of the Planèze tour. Entirely on the GR®4. This stage crosses varied environments and allows you to discover some very interesting, albeit little-known, sites. In particular, the route runs alongside the Narse de Nouvialle (a remarkable wetland) and passes close to the Château du Sailhant and the Babory waterfall.

A circular in the heights of the Ruisseau de la Nuech valley, crossing summer pastures and some undergrowth, a short visit to the centre of Laguiole, and finally, a short loop along the Ruisseau du Vayssaire and an arboretum, to discover the beautiful Cascade de l'Oule waterfall.GRP®® or Visorando app useful on one section

This short walk offers beautiful views of the village of Laguiole and the Oules waterfall.
