The Aubrac region, dotted with meadows, lakes and traditional burons, is another natural treasure.

The state forest of La Fage, one of the largest beech forests in Europe, invites you to explore in the heart of unspoilt nature. Finally, lakes such as Villefort and rivers such as the Lot complete the picture.

Enjoy a unique experience in Aubrac!

In the north of the Lozère region, the breathtaking landscapes of Aubrac are characterised by their vast high plateaux, lush green meadows, picturesque lakes and traditional "burons" (traditional huts).They have been shaped by centuries of history and agricultural activity, where herds of cows still graze freely today.

Hiking enthusiasts will find magnificent trails to explore this unspoilt region, and photographers will be delighted by the breathtaking panoramas.

    Jolie randonnée. faite en 4h30 (en comptant la pause d’1h pour manger). rythme de marche normal. des endroits sur la fin de boucle assez complexe disons, mais sinon faisable avec des enfants min 10_12ans. 80% du chemin sera protégé du soleil donc agréable. quand-même prévoir casquette et chapeau. rien à dire vraiment très jolie randonnée.

    Tolle Wanderung in spektakulärer Landschaft. Genug zu trinken mitnehmen! Also Zusatzvariante am Anfang oder Ende den Aufstieg zum Kreuz über le Rozier (Zustieg über Eisenleitern) dazu packen, wenn man schwindelfrei ist.

    Eine echt coole Wanderung - zum steile Anstieg geht es am gelben Kreuz ab, zunächst unmarkiert, die Kletterei ist nicht ohne. Oben die Querung dann eher ein breiter Weg - insgesamt aber toll!

    Les chiens sont admis mais obligatoirement en laisse car c'est un parcours sur le parc national des Cévennes et la faune sauvage mérite notre respect. Contrairement à ce que laissent à penser les mots clé affichés en regard de l'itinéraire il n'y a pas de remontées mécaniques mais ça vous vous en doutiez! Et un petit détour jusqu'au joli hameau de Cassagnes n'est pas à négliger (compter 15 mn ou plus si vous vous arrêtez à la buvette). Pour laisser la nature propre, une poubelle est à disposition au parking de ce hameau. Attention, la fontaine du Teil est le seul point d'eau sur le parcours. En été cette rando est idéale le matin de bonne heure ou en fin de journée car les corniches côté Jonte sont très exposées. Bonne rando!

    Sehr schöne Rundtour mit zahlreichen Ausblicken in die Cevennen. Die Wege sind teils in der Sonne, teils im Schatten. Schon die Anfahrt von Alès ist ein Abenteuer ("Single Trail"), aber lohnt sich :-)
