Saint-Georges-de-Lévéjac walks

The walk begins with a tour of several villages and hamlets on the Causse de Sauveterre, featuring remarkable stone architecture, set in a rolling landscape where pine woods and meadows share the scenery. Don’t forget to take note of the numerous wayside crosses—some of which are very old stone crosses—that dot the route. The route eventually leads to the Point Sublime viewpoint, overlooking the Cirque des Baumes and offering a magnificent view of the Gorges du Tarn, both upstream and downstream. Just before reaching it, you can choose to take a more challenging but optional detour to the Grotte des Baumes Chaudes.

This walk takes you on a journey through the Causse de Sauveterre, the Causse de Séverac, the Causse Méjean, the Aubrac mountains and all the way to the Aigoual. A small car park is available in the centre of the village of Soulages.

First stage of a six-day circular route starting from the village of Les Vignes. This stage serves as a ‘warm-up’ to Le Rozier.

Thisfourth stage of the Tour du Causse Méjean leaves the Gorges du Tarn to climb back up onto the Causse Méjean and cover nearly half of its northern section. After a steep climb to the hamlet of La Caxe, the walker first passes through wooded areas and fields before reaching more open terrain beyond Montignac. A detour via the Roc des Hourtous, with its breathtaking views of the Gorges du Tarn and the vultures, is one of the highlights of the stage.

The final stage of this walk, and undoubtedly the easiest. The path follows the course of the Tarn and offers beautiful views of the river at various points.

A short walk above Massegros among boxwood, juniper and Scots pine trees, with a beautiful panorama of the western part of the Causse de Sauveterre, the Monts du Lévézou and the foothills of the Aubrac.

Set off to discover a rural world where tradition meets modernity, where old buildings stand alongside modern structures. A journey from the past to the present along this trail, which runs entirely across the plateau.

This walk takes you through part of the lower reaches of the Gorges du Tarn via three of its iconic sites: the Roc des Hourtous, the Détroits and the Pas de Soucy, which marks the end of the section accessible by canoe when coming from La Malène. The route, which mostly runs through a lovely pine forest, nevertheless offers impressive views towards the end along the River Tarn, before climbing back up onto the Causse via a very gruelling ascent for which you’ll need to save your energy. The final stretch, which is more leisurely, takes you through the meadows and sparser pine woods of the Causse Méjean, ending at the Roc des Hourtous with its exceptional panoramic view – and perhaps a stop at the local restaurant, open in spring and summer.

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.

Rather than taking a canoe or a rowing boat, set off on foot along this shaded route through the gorges, where you’ll enjoy fresh perspectives on the legendary sites along this stretch of the Tarn: the ruins of Planiol, Les Détroits, the hamlet of La Croze, Les Baumes Basses and the ‘107’ footbridge! The walk ends after the Pas de Soucy in the lovely village of Les Vignes.A short section of the route towards the end is shared with the GRP® “Tour du Méjan”.

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

A superb walk along the left bank of the Gorges du Tarn. The Gaupillat path, which is little-used and unspoilt, first crosses the Pas de l’Arc, then continues along the hillside to lead to the foot of the Cinglegros, the region’s iconic rock. The real frustration of no longer being able to climb the ladders leading to the summit – following an indefinite ban – is, however, offset by the climb up the Pas des Trois Fondus. The numerous rungs set into the rock and the three metal ladders to be scaled quickly get the adrenaline pumping and add a very challenging element to the route. The return journey is a leisurely one along the Martel path, passing close to the last point of interest encountered, the Baousso del Biel, another natural arch of remarkable size. Once back in La Bourgarie, you can take the time to admire the Causse architecture of this tiny, timeless hamlet, where the stone buildings are very well preserved. 

A trail linking Caussenard heritage, an old drovers' road and breathtaking views: from the heights of the Causses foothills, you can see the Lot Valley stretching into the distance, as well as the Aubrac plateau.

A walk along the edge of the Causse de Sauveterre around the village of Saint-Saturnin and its feudal castle.

This is the stage with the greatest horizontal distance (nearly 20 km). It starts in a wooded area before continuing across the Causse and through pastures. The stage ends with a descent into the valley, as required by the accommodation arrangements.
