Hiking
The region of the Gorges du Tarn and the Grands
causses is a remarquablement nice area to walk:
- The foothpath linear with the Tarn, indicated with jellow and green
marks, is going from Pont de Montvert at the Mont Lozère to Albi (Tarn) :240
km in all, wereof 56 in the deepest of the Gorges du Tarn, en Lozère.
- The topo guide edition Chamina réf.202 Massif Central propose also
out of different villages in the valley of the Tarn weekend-circuits, also suitable
for mountain bikes ( possible to buy at the OTSI)
- A counrty-road propose in 4 days the complete tour of the Causse
Méjean and the Mont Lozère (topo FFRP GR68 + GR6 + GR60 )
- The GR6 offers you startling points of view at the
westpart of the Gorges.
- The GR44 crosses the Causse de Sauveterre from west to east and
joines further on the Mont Lozère.
- Le GR60 departs of /from the Mont Aigoual following the traces of the
old big "draille dAubrac" (the road of the transhumance=the
traditional leaving ofr the sheep of the Languedoc to go and stay in summer at the green
fields of the heights) it crosses the Causse Méjean and the Cause Sauveterre.from the
south to the north . This "draille dAubrac" already was in the
antiquity a trade route to Marseille.
- To create day-trip walks the O.T.S.I's, helped by volunteers, have
realised 23 circuits of 4 to 7 hours, in between Ispagnac and la Malène.
- One of this walks takes the old railway road, the " Cami
Ferrat"(XIII/XIV th century) which relied Ste-Enimie to Meyrueis, and joined the
"domicien" road which the pelgrims took to go to St. Jaques de
Compostelle.
At the OTSI you can buy this 2, just like the map IGN TOP 25 2640 OT which covers the
Gorges du Tarn, Gorge de la Jonte and the Causse Méjean.
