In a few words

This stay between the mountains and lakes of the Haut-Languedoc is a multi-day hike of approximately 130 kilometers without transfers, which takes you through the landscapes of the high plateaus of the Espinouse du Somail, the lakes of the Raviège, the Laouzas without forgetting to pass by the Vezoles waterfall and the Bourdils refuge for an exceptional night.

The route usually starts in La Salvetat-sur-Agout, a charming little town nestled in the heart of the mountains. From there, you'll be immediately immersed in stunning landscapes for a week of hiking that will end in Lamalou-les-Bains.

The stages are a little challenging (24 to 26 km per day with 700m of elevation gain) and allow you to fully immerse yourself in the area, encountering the local flora and fauna with our detailed guidebook. You will hike independently (without a guide), and we will arrange the transfer of your luggage between stages.
For this stay, you will have the chance to sleep at the Bourdils refuge and reconnect with nature for a night.

The highlights

  • A major crossing of the mountain range
  • Hikes of approximately 22 km
  • Rural inns and a night in a mountain refuge
