Stage 1 of our Tour du Cantal / GR®400
First "glitch" of the route from Murat. It turns out that the GR®400 route has been changed due to right of way issues (from what we understand). So, instead of climbing from Murat up to the ridges and following them to the Bec de l'Aigle rock, we had to descend to the village of Laveissière and climb back up from La Bourgeade. We decided to start from Laveissière.

Departure from Laveissière (Cantal)
Stage 2 of our Tour du Cantal / GR®400. A long and challenging stage due to the heat in June. It might be better to split the stages differently. Some very beautiful sections, particularly the arrival on the ridge before Puy Mary, the area around Puy de la Tourte, etc. More difficult sections: the Brèche de Rolland, the Luchard plateau and the long descent to Falgoux. It should be noted that the ascent of Puy Mary is not compulsory.

Magnificent panoramic views over the Falgoux valley and Puy Mary, passing through the mountain pastures and over a hilltop before descending into the forest near the small cross-country ski resort of Les Chamilloux and arriving at the Étang de Lascourt with Puy Mary in the background. We were able to see numerous flowers on the mountain pasture (notably Martagon lilies, arnica and gentian), a flock of sheep with its Patou dog, as well as a group of horses.
