The Chemin des Raspes
A beautiful hike starting from Ayssènes in the little-known Tarn region, culminating at the Notre-Dame-du-Désert chapel. Beautiful panoramic views of the Gorges du Tarn and the Lévézou hills.
Despite numerous shaded sections, avoid doing this hike in the heat of the day or in wet weather due to the significant elevation gain.

In fine weather, the views from Caylus Rock are superb. The walk ends with a tour of the town centre.
Between the pillars of the Millau Viaduct
Who has never dreamed, like Icarus, of seeing the world from above...
More prosaically, this walk will take us between the legs of the smallest pier of the viaduct.
A quick glance at the chapel of Brocuéjouls, another at a double chamber dolmen, not to mention the exceptional panorama of the Tarn valley below.
In short, a family-friendly route with a moderate elevation gain.
Enjoy your walk.

You will be charmed by this delightful village, where the sun gives the red stone facades a flamboyant appearance.
Tournemire and the cliffs of Larzac
A beautiful hike on the Causse du Larzac to admire the Cirque du Brias, commonly known as the Cirque de Tournemire. It is surrounded by one of the most beautiful cliffs on the western edge of the Larzac, from the top of which you can enjoy a vast panorama. The best time to visit is May/June to admire all the flowers on the causse.
Continue towards Viala-du-Pas-de-Jaux with its magnificent restored hospital tower.

Between the two, there is a truly unique route around the Roquesquatres mountain and a short passage through the woods along the Soulzon.
