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 d’Aubrac" (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 d’Aubrac" 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.
