GTMC – Ruynes-en-Margeride | Domaine du Sauvage
From Ruynes en Margeride, you have to climb the drop to Trailus then climb up to the Col du Signal.
Description
There follows a rather rolling ridge path which leads to the summit of Mont Mouchet (1497 m), a high place of the French Resistance.
We then return to Haute-Loire then go down to Paulhac en Margeride located in Lozère.
The forest tracks that cut through these wooded and granite landscapes lead to the Domaine du Sauvage, former dome of the Templars, a major stage on the Way of St Jacques.
Route
Departure from Ruynes: steep climb on forest tracks to the ridges. Rolling path from the Col du Signal to the Croix de la Donne with lovely views. Small section of road to reach the Mont Mouchet Museum. Rolling path alternating forest and open environment to the summit of Mont Mouchet (views and orientation table). Rapid descent to Paulhac then we take wide tracks between pastures and pine forests to Chanaleilles. Small section of false-flat road to go up to Chazeaux. Forest path on the GR 65 at the end of the stage to reach the Domaine du Sauvage.
