Salins walks

A very pleasant short walk to discover the Salins waterfall, the Monzola stream and the village of Salins, mostly in the shade of the undergrowth. There are many points of interest along the route to keep children interested (waterfall, rope bridge, river, etc.). The path is fully marked in blue. A huge thank you to the Communauté de Communes du Pays de Mauriac for developing and maintaining this walk.

A beautiful hike, lovingly mapped out in the heart of the Cantal between the castles of Chambres and Mazerolles.

This easy walk will take you to the summit of Puy Violent, where you can admire a superb 360° view of the Aurillac plain and Puy Mary. Above the Croix des Vachers, an orientation table will tell you the name of each peak.

A superb hike along a ridge with views of the Cantal mountains.

Stage 3 of our Tour du Cantal / GR®400. Departure above the hamlet of Récusset, at the end of the long forest track. The upper part of this hike is on open tracks with no shade. The descent, although some sections are shaded, remains exposed.

Cross these two hamlets south of Neuvic, passing through areas where there are still "dryers" and slate-covered wells. Don't forget to take a close look at the impressive Gorges de la Dordogne.

You will set off to explore the natural heritage of Soursac by heading towards Lac du Pont-Aubert. You will follow the Tacot trail, visiting the Jardin de Firmin and its cabin with a breathtaking view over the Luzège Valley. You will reach the Viaduc des Rochers Noirs and the Himalayan footbridge.

This route takes you along a very quiet road and narrow paths on either side of the Viaduc des Rochers Noirs viaduct to a metal suspension footbridge over the Luzège. Lovely views of the viaduct and the Luzège Valley.

Stage 4 of our Tour du Cantal / GR®400 Another beautiful stage alternating between summer pastures, forests, ridges, peaks (puy) and passes. Long, with quite a lot of elevation gain and loss. Bring plenty of water!

A lovely, easy hike through bucolic countryside, along and above the water, almost entirely shaded by tall trees. Beautiful views. Swimming possible. Near Saint-Illide, Arnac and Pleaux.

A magnificent tour on the plateau where the village of Girgols is located. A short stretch of tarmac road at the beginning, then paths and fields. From the hamlet of La Bastide, you are in a wild, solitary and magnificent world.

A beautiful three-day hike, sleeping in a bivouac, with interesting variations in altitude.

Leave Lapleau via the Gorges de la Luzège, heading towards a historic monument in Haute Corrèze: the Rochers Noirs Viaduct, on a more challenging trail than the one that starts in Soursac.

A short, easy, shaded circular walk from Cheyssac (in the commune of Vebret in Cantal) to the Saut de la Saule, a steep-sided gorge on the Rhue. The Rhue is a tributary of the Dordogne that separates Cantal and Corrèze (and therefore Auvergne from Limousin) near Bort-Les-Orgues.

A circular route with some slightly technical sections, but a detour that is well worth it to reach the Triouzoune and the remains of an old power station dating from 1910, which has been replaced by a dam upstream.

Set off on a family walk to explore the forest trails of the commune of Neuvic, passing through a few hamlets and, with a bit of luck, perhaps encountering some forest wildlife.

A lovely walk through isolated valleys, typical of the Cantalian mid-mountains. Beautiful trees, beautiful landscapes, peace and greenery. A marked walk with no particular difficulty, if you enjoy paths and hills.

A bucolic hike around the charming village of Saint-Hilaire-Luc, passing by the Près Clos and an old wash house frozen in time, walking in figure eights through woods and meadows.

Set off along the forest paths to discover the five ponds in the commune of Lamazière-Basse: the ponds of Viers, Montsour, Ganes, Grenouiller and Trompette.
