Walking |
We
are in wonderful walking
country and whatever
your level you will find
walks to suit your needs. There is huge
scope, from challenging
gorge walking through to
relaxing strolls through
forests and along river
valleys. There are over
50 well-marked routes in
the Tarn alone and as we
are so close to the
Aveyron department we
can double that number
of easily accessible
routes. The summer
temperatures can make
walking in late July and
August uncomfortable but
both Spring and Autumn
provide wonderful
walking weather. |

Equestrians
|
Equestrians
venturing here
are spoilt for choice
around La Peyrecout. The
areas bridle paths take
visitors across a wide
variety of terrain. Many
of the public GR and GRP
footpaths are open to horse-riders and the less-steep hill
routes are of particular interest. And you don't have to be
an expert rider to take advantage of this compelling
landscape. |

|
Sailing |
Near Monestiés (10 min) there
is lake with sand beach
(la Roucarie) where one
can swim and sail. Of
course there are many
places along the rivers
Aveyron and the Viaur
were one can plunge in the water to cool down. |
