Departure from Aumont-Aubrac (Lozère)
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.

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.

Do you want to commune with nature, admire its beauty at the slow pace of walking, walk to get to know yourself better, get back to basics, push yourself: set off on an adventure along the Camino de Santiago. That’s what I’m offering you with this route. I set off from my village in the Jura (the first six stages are not part of the signposted routes of the Camino de Santiago) to reach Santiago de Compostela in Spain, but there’s nothing stopping you from setting off from your own home to join the route at any stage, starting from Le Puy-en-Velay or any other town along the way.
