The Point Sublime on the Corniche du Causse Noir
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).

Chaos de Roquesaltes
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.
The Rajol Corniche
From the Dourbie Valley, the path climbs gently towards the Corniche de Rjaol, where there is a magnificent view of the Dourbie and the Larzac, and to the south, the Millau Viaduct. A very scenic walk best done in spring.

The Hermitage of Saint-Michel and the cornices of the Causse Noir
A very beautiful hike along the Jonte Gorges on the ledges of the Causse Noir. Remains of the Saint-Michel hermitage. Close to vultures.
The Hermitage of Saint-Michel from Peyreleau
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.
Le Rozier - Les Vignes
Thisthird stage of the Tour du Causse Méjean takes place entirely within the Gorges du Tarn. Following wide tracks or good footpaths, sometimes beneath overhanging rock formations, sometimes along the banks of the Tarn, this easy, shaded stage offers a very pleasant way to explore this part of the gorges.
Encountering vultures
A walk to discover vultures in the cliffs of the Jonte.
Please note that the elevation gain calculated automatically by the app is incorrect; it is only about 600 m.
The Méjean cliff path
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!
The Corniches du Méjean and Corniches du Tarn from Rozier
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.
Jonte Balcony Circular Route
This hike offers some of the finest panoramic views from the ridges on both banks of the Jonte, taking you through the heart of the Causse Méjean and the Arcs de Saint-Pierre. It’s an alternative to the signposted routes, which each stay on a single bank, all in a circular route that can be completed in a long day!
From Le Rozier to La Viale via the Corniches de la Jonte
This is the stage with the most elevation gain, but it is superb! The passage along the ledge above the Gorges de la Jonte offers magnificent aerial views. It is also a great place to watch vultures in flight.
Between Tarn and Jonte
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.
