The Margeride offers a hilly playground with passes over 1500 m (5000 ft) and remarquable viewpoints over the region. The routes vary, alternating between gravel roads and trails. We will go from the shade of great pine forests to clear landscapes, marked by granite chaos and heather lands. Return to the guest house at the end of the day.
