Rebourguil walks

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.

In the shade of the pink sandstone collegiate church and the surrounding woods, a peaceful escape on bushy paths, mills and hamlets, forest trails wind their way along the river Rance. Yellow markings and a ford on the Rance. ⚠️To be avoided in periods of heavy rain, otherwise one passes at ease by taking off one's shoes.

Very interesting hike as much for the landscapes (Rance valley, Rougier de Camarès) as for the culture (village of Combret, Notre-Dame d'Orient, numerous crosses). Some portions on tarmac, but with the magnificence of the small paths and the beauty of the landscape, you'll quickly forget them.

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.

Pleasant walk starting from the centre of Camarès (you can also start from the leisure centre car park) along the Dourdou river, passing through Camarès "Ville haute" (upper town), the ruins of the old fortified town, the castle currently being restored, the rose garden, and enjoy the panoramic view from the old bell tower.

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

This hike, mostly in tree-shade, takes you through coombs and valleys to the south of Saint-Sernin-sur-Rance. Beautiful paths, some of them forgotten or seldom used, add a pleasant touch of wilderness. A breath of fresh air in absolute calm, in an unspoilt natural setting, not forgetting the two menhir statues at Pousthomy, which add a touch of historical interest to this walk.

Through a coniferous forest, we discover the Russian Orthodox Chapel nestled in the heart of the woods, in an idyllic green setting. Time to pause and meditate on this magical place. Superb views. The trail is mainly woodland, which is pleasant in hot weather.

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.

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.

This walk offers an original perspective on the Roquefort region from above, between Lévézou, the Tournemire cirque, an old sheepfold and the Larzac plateau. The final section passes close to the Roquefort caves and crosses the village's main street to return to the starting point.

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.

Thanks to the diversity of its landscapes, the Monts de Lacaune offer a remarkable palette of colours and a delight for hikers.

This short family hike, shaded and sheltered from the wind, is as pleasant in summer as it is in winter. You will enjoy the scenery and the sunken paths between hazelnut trees and holly.

From the narrow streets of Lacaune, with its already mountainous atmosphere, the ascent to the summit of Montalet takes place in the hushed atmosphere of magnificent beech forests. The Pic de Montalet peaks at 1259 m. A day of hiking and fresh air to take in the beauty of the landscape. The 360° view of the Massif Central from the Rocher de la Vierge is breathtaking.

The hike starts with a steady climb to reach the ridge of the Hautes Terres d'Oc. The descent is gentle, through a beautiful beech forest, along holly hedges and a small stream at the end. There is shade all along the way except for 2-3 km at the summit.

This hike starts in the small village of Gijounet and leads first to the Roquenière viewpoint and orientation table, then to Puech de Montgros, where you can enjoy a 360° view of the landscape. There is no monotony on this very "natural" circuit, where forest passages alternate with ridge paths that allow you to enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding puechs and the Gijou valley.

This is a family-friendly round-trip hike offering splendid views of Lacaune and its surroundings from the famous Roc des Écus. More than half of the route follows a wide forest track, then a beautiful, easy trail that is shaded almost all the way.

A refreshing hike that takes place mainly in the forest. From the Col de la Bassine, the route first leads to the Tourbière des Pansières and its discovery trail, then to Mont Roucous after a quick and easy climb. To finish in style, part of the "Sur les traces de l'Enfant Sauvage" trail allows you to enjoy interesting and entertaining information panels and exceptional undergrowth.
