Hiking - Sources of the Lot and Goulet

Grand and varied landscapes, between open pastures and dense forests, along a large, lightly trafficked loop that crosses the Goulet mountain and offers beautiful views of Mont Lozère.

You will discover the source of the Lot, located at around 1,300 m altitude, in a peat bog area. You will pass through the charming hamlet of Les Alpiers, once walked by the writer Stevenson and his donkey Modestine.

Along the route, signposts guide you, along with yellow paint markings. The names of localities and/or directions to follow are indicated in "bold italics and in quotes" in the description below:

From the start at « Le Bleymard », head towards « La Remise », « Les Alpiers », « Chap Duolt », follow « Sources du Lot » and return to « Chap Duolt », then continue towards « Lou Feyra », « Frachassou », « La Plone 2x », « L’Ayrette », « Prat del Castre », « St Jean du Bleymard » and « Le Bleymard ».

Walk extracted from the cartoguide Mont Lozère, Pays des Sources, from the Goulet Mountain to the Bramont Gorges, produced by the Mont Lozère Nature Pole.

Adapt your equipment to the weather conditions of the day. Remember that mountain weather changes quickly. Bring enough water, sturdy shoes, and a hat. Make sure to close gates and stiles properly.
