Loop on Lo Camin d'Olt (Aveyron) |
Lo Camin d'Olt, whose name means "the Lot path" in Occitan, is a long-distance hiking trail (GRP) that explores the Aveyron section of the Lot Valley, a major tributary of the Garonne River. This walking route allows you to traverse the varied landscapes of the Olt River, from the plateaus of northern Aveyron to the edge of the Causses. The hike follows the winding course of the Lot, passing through charming villages such as Saint-Geniez-d'Olt and Espalion, known for their medieval and Romanesque heritage. The path offers an immersion in the region's geological diversity, transitioning from granite rocks to schist and limestone. It is an excellent alternative to more frequented pilgrimage routes, showcasing local history, Aveyron gastronomy, and the rural traditions of the Upper Rouergue.
