Signposts will guide you all along this route: follow the waymarks for trail #9.



Your adventure starts with a rather steep climb on a pleasant little path. The slope becomes gentler, and you enter a pretty area of undergrowth. A small bridge takes you across the stream, then you start the climb to L’Oultet. Cross the hamlet and take the GR® (long-distance hiking path) towards Lozerette. You will cross rivers several times (some crossings are muddy, be careful) before starting a climb of five kilometres on a nice singletrack. There are magnificent views of Mont Lozère all along – don’t forget to take a breather and admire the view! 
Your reward for this handsome climb? The incredible village of Lozerette, worth seeing so you can talk about it… You then take a small track to the hamlet of Serviès, then another to Les Sagnes. Go slightly uphill before going downhill to the magnificent hamlet of Auriac. Join the GR® again, to the Menhir de la Felgère. From this standing stone, after a short section on a track, the descent is on a wooded path. Cross the stream one last time, and you’ve arrived !
