Train and hike, the perfect combo!

Arrived at Aurec-sur-Loire station, the countryside offers many paths and in particular that of the GR3 which runs along the Loire, punctuated by numerous stations to Puy-en-Velay. A day hike, over a distance of 22 km, punctuated by surprising spots: the Saut du Chien footbridge, the castle of Rochebaron and the ponds of Bas en Basset.
The day hike ends at Bas-Monistrol station. A taste that will certainly make you want to hike on this famous GR3.

Laura's tip

Possibility to arrive by train from Saint-Etienne Chateaucreux station to Aurec-sur-Loire station and return by train from Bas-Monistrol station.

It's eco-friendly and good for the carbon footprint.
