Tour of the Monts d'Aubrac (Lozère-Aveyron-Cantal)

Starting in Aumont-Aubrac, in the Lozère department, the trail ventures into transhumance territory. Passing through Saint-Laurent-de-Muret and Les Enfrux, hikers discover a landscape of endless pastures dotted with granite boulders and burons, the stone shelters where cheese was once made. The arrival in Laguiole, in the Aveyron department, famous for its cutlery-making expertise, marks a major cultural milestone. The path then crosses Saint-Urcize, a charming village in the Cantal department. Nature here is wild and fragile, sheltering exceptional flora such as the sundew and the sulfur anemone in the wetlands. Between Recoules-d'Aubrac and Fourmels, the silence is broken only by the tinkling of Aubrac cowbells. Heritage is revealed in secluded hamlets like La Brugère and La Croze, where the massive stone architecture withstands the harsh winters.
