Roquefort-sur-Soulzon walks

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 on the Causse du Larzac to admire the Cirque du Brias, commonly known as the Cirque de Tournemire. It is surrounded by one of the most beautiful cliffs on the western edge of the Larzac, from the top of which you can enjoy a vast panorama. The best time to visit is May/June to admire all the flowers on the causse. Continue towards Viala-du-Pas-de-Jaux with its magnificent restored hospital tower.

This route, which circles the Soulzon valley, will take you to two legendary sites: - the Cirque de Tournemire and its spectacular cliffs. - the Combalou plateau, whose underground chambers house the famous Roquefort caves. The trail winds its way through cliffs, ledges and rocky outcrops, offering impressive views. Between the two, there is a truly unique route around the Roquesquatres mountain and a short passage through the woods along the Soulzon.

Built during the time of the Hospitallers, the granary tower of Viala-du-Pas-de-Jaux is the starting point for this circular loop through a sumptuous agropastoral landscape. Formed by karst erosion, the cirque of Saint-Paul-des-Fonts, village of the botanist Hippolyte Coste to whom an area is dedicated, offers a breathtaking spectacle.

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

Just a few minutes from Millau, this walk combines superb landscapes, the viaduct, the village of Peyre (listed as one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in France") and a bucolic little path along the Tarn.

Starting from the Causse du Larzac, you will discover the colossal rocks that dominate the Cernon valley, while approaching the old railway line several times, which today is used for tourist activities thanks to the rail bikes of Sainte-Eulalie-de-Cernon. You can explore the fortified Templar village of Sainte-Eulalie-de-Cernon and climb back up the other side of the valley.

Located on the south-western slope of the Larzac Plateau at an altitude of 530 m, the village of Saint-Beaulize is dominated by a cirque formed by high limestone cliffs (reaching 860 m) commonly known as molaires.

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

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.

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.

Who has never dreamed, like Icarus, of seeing the world from above... More prosaically, this walk will take us between the legs of the smallest pier of the viaduct. A quick glance at the chapel of Brocuéjouls, another at a double chamber dolmen, not to mention the exceptional panorama of the Tarn valley below. In short, a family-friendly route with a moderate elevation gain. Enjoy your 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.

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.

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.

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.

A beautiful climb up the Causse Noir starting from Pauhle, a pretty village where you must visit the Maison de la Cerise. A second short circular loop, if you have time, allows you to visit the lower parts of the commune but does not provide access to the Tarn, which is a shame.

With all due respect to its illustrious neighbour (the Montpellier-le-Vieux site), the Caoussou chaos is a ruiniform formation rich in concretions, certainly more modest but just as interesting to discover. A family walk with a gradient suitable for both young and old.

Visit the pretty medieval village of Compeyre and take a walk in the hills around Puech de Luzergue, passing by the châteaux of Cabrières and Lugagnac. The route is mainly on paths and small roads.Please note: it is best to do this hike at the weekend as the tracks may be used by vehicles and the quarry is very close by.

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.

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.

This hike starts in Roqueredonde and takes you to the Orb river and the Tibetan Buddhist temple Lerab Ling, where you can take a short meditation break. The route then enters the Escandorgue National Forest, where the charm of the forest paths contrasts with the chaotic dolomitic landscape of the Causse. Finally, the route follows ancient paths worn by passing flocks of sheep.
