Departure from Marchastel (Lozère) (Lozère)
As its name suggests, this hike offers sweeping views of the Aubrac plateau, creating a kind of horizontal vertigo. To enjoy these views, you will need to climb two volcanic hills, which are not difficult. The villages of Rieutort and Marchastel boast beautiful heritage sites.
