Cycling travel in Aubrac and Margeride - Massif Central

Cycling travel in Aubrac and Margeride - Massif Central

From the wide plateaus in Aubrac to the Margeride's forests.
6 days / 5 nights

Pedal in Margeride : wild highlands with forests, moorlands, peatlands, granite chaos and pastures. In Aubrac, the landscape is hilly with endless grasslands, the roads are bordered with granit stones and beech forests.

At Languedoc Nature, we know pretty well the area, so we organise quality routes. It means that we design the itinerary throughout roads with low traffic to let you discover peacefully the landscapes in Massif Central.

The choice of the hotels, gites, B&B, restaurants and other suppliers is one of our main concern. We are willing our clients to experience the best during their holidays with us.

Trip highlights: 

- Crossing through the pastures of the Aubrac plateau, where the gaze is far away!

- The forests and moors of Margeride

- small winding roads with little traffic take you to meet authentic territories.

TYPE OF TRIP: 

 

Self-guided tour

We provide you with the maps and the road book. The accommdation and the catering will be reserved for you.

Good morning, sir,

Tour Margeride Aubrac finished. It was great. Very well organized: topos, taxis, hotels. All the stages were really good. A special mention to Saint Urcize and l'Habitarelle exceptional. Very nice atmosphere in the others too.
Really great. Thank you for the great organization. See you soon.
