Pont du Tarn (Mont Lozère) walks

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.
