Prunières (Lozère) walks

This is an easy family trail that allows you to discover the rich local flora and fauna. Only a stony section at the start and end of the lake may make this short hike difficult for those who are less mobile.

A short walk leads to a majestic natural site and a perfect view of the Truyère Gorges. Be careful in rainy weather, however, as the area around the Porte des Fées can be slippery.

A walk through woods and meadows to explore the medieval site of Apcher.

Nineteenth stage of the Way of St James. This final stage in Margeride before crossing the Aubrac is fairly short and allows you to recover from the previous stages by visiting the pretty town of Aumont-Aubrac. You’ll be walking through a landscape of streams and mountain flora, with magnificent scenery!

A walk in Margeride, Europe’s largest granite massif, taking in the villages of Mialanes and Les Ducs on the heights of Malzieu-Ville.

A superb hike, mostly through woods, to discover the wild and little-known Truyère gorges. Suitable for experienced walkers only due to the distance and elevation gain.

Take a break from the A75 for a pleasant and informative stop!

Set off to discover the typical villages of the Margeride and its local heritage. This pleasant walk, offering superb views of the massif and the Cantal mountains, is also accessible by mountain bike.

Discover the highest point of the Margeride and enjoy a 360° panorama of the Auvergne mountains. In good weather, you can also see the Alps and the Pyrenees.

The first stage of the 5-day Tour de l'Aubrac, this hike already offers a good glimpse of the magnificent landscapes of the Aubrac: fields, woods, hills, beautiful granite-stone houses, crosses at almost every crossroads, and of course, the proud Aubrac cows.

The Aubrac is a granite plateau partly covered in basalt. A vast grazing area for the famous Aubrac cattle, it is criss-crossed by numerous paths, the most famous of which is the Way of St James, the Via Podensis starting from Le Puy-en-Velay. This short five-day Tour of the Monts d'Aubrac allows you to explore the southern half, passing through iconic locations such as Aumont-Aubrac, Prinsuéjols, Les Rajas, Saint-Chely-d'Aubrac, Aubrac, and Nasbinals.

Twentieth stage of the Camino de Santiago. For this stage, leave the Margeride for the Aubrac. You’ll realise you’re in the Aubrac when the trees disappear – and it’s absolutely stunning! The colours, the landscapes, the cows, the silence, the sky, the rocks. You’ll feel tiny in the face of nature’s immensity.

Starting from Loubaresse, near an exit from the A75 motorway, this route follows the GR® de Pays circular Boucle de la Truyère and a variant that "turns" around the Truyère river to the village of Chaliers, which is well worth taking the time to explore. The route takes small local roads on both the left and right banks of this river with its wild gorges, crossing it twice via footbridges at Valadour and Terran. The actual duration of the route is 4 hours and 40 minutes (GPS watch data), including a short stop in Chaliers.

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).

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