Follow in the footsteps of Robert Louis Stevenson to reach the Col de Finiels pass, then take the old Roman road to the hamlet of L'Hôpital, and make a brief visit to the famous Pont du Tarn to wrap up this beautiful large circuit.



The trail starts with a gradual climb totalling 900 metres of elevation gain in about 10 kilometres. Nothing complicated, but it’s best to be mentally prepared… This takes you to the summit of Finiels. You continue to the Col de Finiels pass, then fork onto the GR®7 long-distance hiking path which descends gently to Salarial. From there, go downhill for 3 km to L’Hôpital on a track that levels out to reach the Pont du Tarn.
The trail continues with a pleasant path alongside the Tarn and then a fairly steep descent to Frutgères, via Le Merlet. Short steep section with a beautiful final descent.
Follow waymarks for trail #25.
