Hiking Lozère

To get you to discover his Lozere, Didier Azéma offers you in every season unusual stays: descent of the Gorges du Tarn trail; in the footsteps of the Beast of Gevaudan (Nord Lozere); Wild hiking with bivouac in the trees… Once comfortably installed in a hammock at a height of 5 to 10 metres, the protective stature of the tree reveals the mysteries of the forest. A night in the crown is a peaceful, relaxing and unforgettable experience… More classical, hiking is possible (day or day) as well as canoeing in the discovery of beavers. All activities are controlled by graduate monitors.

Come and meet the Lord of lozériennes forests: chestnut. At the beginning of Molezon, this easy 2,5 kilometre trail evolves in full nature between streams, forest, terraces and stone walls. At the end of the journey you can reach a restored mas in which you can enjoy a 40-minute audio show from mid-June to mid-September on the oral memory of the French Valley. However, if you can, we particularly recommend this walk in the autumn: The colours are of all beauty, and you can enjoy a few chestnuts and mushrooms!

You don't have to be a member to take part in one of the many hikes proposed by this cheerful team, whose program can be found online or in the local press. Membership is compulsory after the^3rd participation, after having tested the club's good atmosphere... One of the club's stated aims is clear: "To share steps and create social links". The website lists all the outings scheduled for the week and half-year, together with a list of essential equipment.

This association, which produced a topo-guide to short hikes, offers guided hikes and themed outings (botany, birds, farm produce, etc.) around Grandrieu and in the Margeride region: twenty-five signposted loop trails starting from Grandrieu, ranging from 4 km to 27.2 km, a 75 km cantonal tour that can be completed in three days... The association has worked on the creation of a circuit called "la via Agrippa". The calendar of guided hikes and the trail map are available on the website.

The Mas Camargues is a remarkable and imposing building complex, made of cut granite blocks, built in the 15th century, which houses a seasonal information center of the Cevennes Park. There are various elements of a typical farm (sheepfold, mill...). From there, you can follow a discovery trail that allows you to observe all the aspects of the massif: pastures, moors, forests, peat bogs, high altitude grasslands frequented by transhumants, and to approach the source of the Tarn.
