Saint-Sauveur-de-Ginestoux walks

Starting from the village of Grandrieu, this hike allows you to discover the small Margeride massif (formerly Gévaudan) and its typical granite villages. The route described was completed in half a day by young people (aged 7 to 11) from the Sentiers en Margeride hiking club. Difficulty: E2/T2/R1 (according to FFrandonnée classification).

Hike around Lake Charpal in a completely unspoilt protected natural site. The path does not stray far from the lake, so the elevation gain is very low and the route is easy. Much of the route is through woodland, ideal in summer when it is hot.

A very pleasant hike through meadows and woods, the latter being very diverse. There are many landscapes and viewpoints, notably over the Mercoire forest and the Moure de la Gardille. All seasons are interesting: spring with its rushing rivers, summer with its refreshing forests, autumn marked by a symphony of colours.

Fifth stage of a complete journey on the Chemin de Stevenson between Le Puy-en-Velay and Alès. This stage includes significant changes to the GR®70 signposting. Alternatives exist, notably to go directly to La Bastide-Puylaurent without passing through Notre-Dame-des-Neiges.

A pleasant hike through oak and beech forests to discover the Fagette waterfall and the hamlets of Asprettes and La Fagette, with their superb granite houses and old ovens.

A beautiful route around the little-known sources of the Allier.

This hike offers beautiful views of the Naussac Reservoir and the Rac de Langogne, and you can discover the small Donozau waterfall along beautiful paths.

This is the 4th stage of a complete journey on the Chemin de Stevenson between Le Puy-en-Velay and Alès. This stage marks the transition from the Pays des Puys du Velay, with its open, hilly landscapes, to the Gévaudan, with its more enclosed landscapes and deep woodlands. The route follows the GR®70 (Red and White waymarkers).

Circular walk to the summit of Moure de la Gardille at an altitude of over 1,500 metres. Depart from Mirandol via the old Chemin de la Balade trail, heading towards Airolle and the Sources de l'Allier, and return via Sogne Longue and Les Mouleyres.

A shaded hike through the beech and pine forests of the Goulet mountain. You will follow part of the GR®70, the famous Stevenson Trail, named after the journey made through the Cévennes in 1878 by Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson, accompanied by a donkey.

Seventh stage of a complete journey on the Chemin de Stevenson between Le Puy-en-Velay and Alès. This stage may include significant changes to the GR®70 signposting, and represents the end of the section corresponding to the crossing of the Gévaudan.

This route is the third stage of a complete journey on the Chemin de Stevenson between Le Puy-en-Velay and Alès. This is undoubtedly the easiest stage of the tour. The route follows the GR®70 (follow the well-known GR® markings). Please note the route may have been slightly modified from what is shown on the map, in particular to avoid a few short stretches of busy road.

Walk along the first few kilometres of the Lot to its source, between forests and meadows.

Eighth stage of a complete journey on the Chemin de Stevenson between Le Puy-en-Velay and Alès. This stage may involve significant changes from the GR®70 signposting, and corresponds to the North-South crossing of the Mont Lozère massif.

A very pleasant, bucolic hike on well-marked paths, with no major technical difficulties. You will pass through varied landscapes with numerous panoramic views.

An ideal place for a walk, Lac du Bouchet is reminiscent of a Canadian lake. A real gem in its forest setting, this circular lake of volcanic origin occupies the site of an ancient crater. The suggested route allows you to walk around it. It is a very easy walk that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

A short walk leads to a majestic natural site and a perfect view of the Truyère Gorges. Be careful in rainy weather, however, as the area around the Porte des Fées can be slippery.

Discover the highest point of the Margeride and enjoy a 360° panorama of the Auvergne mountains. In good weather, you can also see the Alps and the Pyrenees.

This hike starts at Grand Altier and takes you to Le Fossat via a series of forest paths with varied atmospheres. The return journey is via another forest path that runs alongside a river and takes you over a pretty bridge. Please note that some sections are not cleared of undergrowth, so watch out for ticks, snakes, etc. Take a stick with you to defend yourself if necessary, but avoid interacting with them as much as possible. In addition, you will pass through some areas where herds of cows graze, so avoid interacting with them as well.

On the rocky spur overlooking the Lot, downstream from Chanac, there are two settlements: Le Villard Vieux, the first hilltop village, and Le Villard Jeune, the second village. In the Middle Ages, Le Villard was part of the domain of the Château de Chanac, an episcopal possession of which only the famous keep remains today.The route differs from the marked route by remaining below the Causse du Villard before reaching the "fortified" village. The return to Chanac, along the Lot, allows you to see the Château de Ressouches (private) along the way and offers the opportunity to visit the village at the end of the walk.

Short circuit to visit the Beaume waterfall. Wear good shoes for the descent to the waterfall. Avoid pushchairs. In summer, you can swim.
