Saint-Salvi-de-Carcavès walks
The Masnau trail
At the headwaters of the Dadou, the rugged terrain of the plateau vies with the forested gorges of the river and its tributaries; as the locals say, ‘Lo rec manjo la plano’ (the stream eats away at the plateau).
The mountain trail starting from Montfranc
Perched on a plateau at over 800m, Montfranc and the spire of its mountain-style church look out towards the Tarn and the Aveyron. A short, unpretentious walk, with lovely paths and views of the Monts de Lacaune.
Route of nature and heritage around the Rance starting from Pousthomy
Starting from the small village of Pousthomy, this walk alternates between sections through woodland and along the ridge, where the view opens up to 360°. In terms of heritage, the Monastery of Notre-Dame d’Orient at the start of the route, three menhir statues along the way and a visit to Combret at its remarkable site will delight lovers of beautiful stonework and provide an excellent addition to this nature walk.
The Dadou Valley between Saint-Michel-de-Léon and Massuguiès
Starting from Saint-Michel de Léon, this ‘nature’ route alternates between forest and open sections, offering stunning views of the Dadou valley, following both its slopes. Apart from a few short sections, most of the route follows very gentle gradients, allowing walkers plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings.
Circuit around Combret-sur-Rance
Very interesting hike as much for the landscapes (Rance valley, Rougier de Camarès) as for the culture (village of Combret, Notre-Dame d'Orient, numerous crosses).
Some portions on tarmac, but with the magnificence of the small paths and the beauty of the landscape, you'll quickly forget them.
A circuit from Saint-Sernin-sur-Rance
This hike, mostly in tree-shade, takes you through coombs and valleys to the south of Saint-Sernin-sur-Rance. Beautiful paths, some of them forgotten or seldom used, add a pleasant touch of wilderness. A breath of fresh air in absolute calm, in an unspoilt natural setting, not forgetting the two menhir statues at Pousthomy, which add a touch of historical interest to this walk.
From the Sentier des Candes to Le Catous
A magnificent route at the junction of the Monts de Lacaune and the Rougier de Camarès. This circular route winds around a remarkable village where Art Brut and the Arts Buissoniers intermingle. The paths and forest tracks are often wide and shaded. 85 per cent of the route is off-road and offers beautiful panoramic views of southern Aveyron! The GPX track may prove very useful.
Lacaze Viane
A beautiful hike that will take you from the Gijou valley, with the villages of Lacaze and Viane, to the heights of the small plateau above Carayon, from where you can see as far as the Pyrenees on a clear day. A brief foray into the Second World War with the two monuments before Le Sucail is a pleasant way to round off this beautiful day.
From the Rec de Gréziès to the Gijou valley, from La Case Nature
Alternating between peaks and the Gijou valley, during this walk hikers will discover some magnificent villages and hidden hamlets in the Tarn department, explore a region with a rich historical past and observe a varied and protected flora and fauna.
From La Case Nature to St Michel de Léon
A pilgrimage in the footsteps of the young ‘Green Hussars of the Republic’, which will take you across the Dadou plateau and valley to Saint-Michel-de-Léon, a true haven of peace where you can cool off in the waters of its ‘Saut de la Truite’ waterfall.
Gijounet - Roquenière - Puech de Montgros loop around Gijou
This hike starts in the small village of Gijounet and leads first to the Roquenière viewpoint and orientation table, then to Puech de Montgros, where you can enjoy a 360° view of the landscape. There is no monotony on this very "natural" circuit, where forest passages alternate with ridge paths that allow you to enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding puechs and the Gijou valley.
The Lacaune Mountains, Picotalen and Roc des Écus
The Lacaune Mountains, thanks to the diversity of their landscapes, offer a remarkable palette of colours and are a real treat for walkers.
A journey of discovery through the Monts de Lacaune
In 1798, in the woods of La Bassine, hunters discovered a child of about twelve years of age.A feral child, to whom François Truffaut would dedicate a film of the same name.
Set off to discover a land of contrasts, immerse yourself in the wilderness as you follow the wanderings of the wild child.This three-day journey will open up new horizons for a future, more extensive trek along other paths.You’ll return in awe.
Lacaune - La Salvetat-sur-Agout
This is the longest stage of the route, but it presents no particular difficulties.Most of the route runs through the Lacaune National Forest.The Rieufrech Stream will accompany you with its crystal-clear murmur almost all the way along the path.You might want to stop for lunch by the stream, next to a small bridge.
From Lacaune to Roc de Montalet via Roc des Écus
From the narrow streets of Lacaune, with its already mountainous atmosphere, the ascent to the summit of Montalet takes place in the hushed atmosphere of magnificent beech forests. The Pic de Montalet peaks at 1259 m. A day of hiking and fresh air to take in the beauty of the landscape. The 360° view of the Massif Central from the Rocher de la Vierge is breathtaking.
