GR®43

From Faisses Pass to Ste Eulalie (Lozere)

The GR43 long-distance hiking trail connects the granite peaks of Mont Lozère to the mysterious plateaus of the Margeride, offering a spectacular crossing between the Cévennes mountains and lands steeped in legend. The landscape alternates between moors of purple heather, dense beech forests, and vast pastoral expanses dotted with rocky outcrops. As for wildlife, a keen eye might spot red deer, griffon vultures soaring on thermals, or the elusive otter in the valleys of the Lot River. The flora is equally rich, sheltering the famous sundew (a carnivorous plant) in the peat bogs and the martagon lily at the forest edges. The built heritage bears witness to a centuries-old history: storm-storage bell towers, granite farmhouses with slate roofs, and medieval remains mark the route. This trail is a journey into the history of the Gévaudan region, a land of transhumance and resistance.
