Rivière-sur-Tarn walks

Hike in the hills above the Tarn Valley, around the medieval castle of Peyrelade.

A very pretty loop that allows you to discover the Gorges du Tarn and then the Gorges de la Jonte. After the climb to Rocher de Capluc, the arrival at the viewpoint offers a magnificent view of the Tarn Gorges and Le Rozier. The route is a bit challenging but the views are sublime. The elevation gain is actually 650 m and the distance is 12 km.

Perhaps the most beautiful walk along the Causse Méjean, which traditionally starts out from Le Rozier. Here, by starting on the cliff top, there is less vertical drop, as you stay between 870 and 720m the whole way. As well as breath-taking scenery, you can see vultures circling above you and even below you on the cliffs!

A beautiful, challenging circular hike with breathtaking views. The view from the Cinglegros rock is fantastic, but access is reserved for those who do not suffer from vertigo.

A beautiful hike above Peyreleau with many points of interest: views of the Tarn valley and the Jonte gorges, vultures and eagles in flight, the ruins of the Hermitage of Saint-Michel and swimming in the Jonte on the way back. The most strenuous part is the first section to reach the viewpoint.

A very beautiful hike along the Jonte Gorges on the ledges of the Causse Noir. Remains of the Saint-Michel hermitage. Close to vultures.

A family outing.

A fantastic hike among old stones (Saint-Jean des Balmes priory, Saint-Michel Hermitage), magnificent panoramas, amazing ruiniform rocks and a nature reserve (Cirque de Madasse). The hike from Saint-Jean des Balmes avoids a significant elevation gain, allowing you to extend your hike to the Point Sublime at the top of the Corniche du Causse Noir.

Accompanied by the sound of water flowing from the Novis fountain, this gentle climb to La Devèze offers a 360° panorama of the Grands Causses, the blue line of the Cévennes and the Languedoc mountains The drinking troughs of Novis, a village of character, and the vaulted fountain of Argeliès, where water flows as it did in the days of the washerwomen, are the two focal points of this family outing on the Causse de Sauveterre. On the crest of the Devèze de Novis, an orientation table guides you through the breathtaking parade of landscapes stretching as far as the eye can see

You will discover this dolomitic ruin hidden in the pine woods, but it is at the edge of the cliffs overlooking the Dourbie that the cornices of the Rajol will reveal their majesty. What can be said about the Dantesque beauty of the stone giants of Roques Altès? Appreciate the voluptuous curves of the roofs of the eponymous farm. A family walk that oscillates between enchantment and dreaminess.

Starting from the charming village of La Roque-Sainte-Marguerite, this hike first leads to the remarkable Roquesaltes rock formations, highlighted by a discovery trail dotted with informative and fun signs suitable even for the youngest hikers. After exploring the magnificent Causse farm of the same name, the circuit continues on the Causse Noir and leads to the site of Montméjean, dominated by the ruins of its castle. A beautiful trail leads back to the village, where you can stop to discover the 12th-century Sainte-Marguerite d'Antobe Church before descending via a beautiful paved slanting street to the banks of the Dourbie, where a swim in the summer months is a refreshing and pleasant way to end the circuit.

Hike on the Corniches du Causse Méjean above the Gorges du Tarn.

Hike on the Causse Méjean, in an environment that was inhabited thousands of years ago...

Starting from Creissels, there is a combination of marked trails, created on the initiative of the Millau Grands Causses Community of Communes, allowing you to discover the area by following in the footsteps of Mr Clapassou. (Symbolic iron signpost in the shape of a pile of stones) Don't miss the Creissels waterfalls, the Moulin de Tournal mill and the Cirque de St-Martin (or Cirque du Boundoulaou). At the end of the route, you can visit the lower, very pretty part of the village, right on the banks of the Tarn.

A loop passing by the Creissels waterfalls, with return trips to enjoy the heights of the Causse du Larzac and the viewpoint overlooking the Millau Viaduct and the Cirque du Boundoulaou.

This route offers superb views of Millau and its viaduct. Leaving the valley, you reach the legendary Larzac Plateau.

This walk was created by the Pays de la Muse et des Raspes Tourist Office. A very pleasant walk, even in summer, as it is often in the shade. During the season, admire the splendid rosebushes in the streets of Saint-Beauzély.

This beautiful and varied hike combines a walk along the banks of the Gorges du Tarn with the discovery of magnificent hamlets and villages in the Causse region, followed by a return trip across the Causse Méjean plateau in a remarkable wooded environment. The absolute calm of the causse contrasts with the hustle and bustle of La Malène and the constant stream of canoes descending the gorges. But the prospect of a welcome swim in the summer months will quickly help you forget this inconvenience. The harmonious blend of majestic landscapes and picturesque, well-preserved traditional buildings makes this circuit particularly appealing.
