Lozère Outdoor - Parcours

Route opened

At the foot of the Goulet and Lozère massifs, explore Altier and its hamlets, fortress, church and surroundings. It’s worth a detour !

As you gain height, you get open views onto the north slope of Mont Lozère. The donwhill section is in the valat (valley) of the Rouvière, one of the tributaries of the Altier river. Take the time to visit the fortress on its rocky spur.
