Sentiers pédestre et VTT autour du lac du Val de Lenne
5 tours, 5 durations, 5 ways to enjoy the lake and its surroundings!
If you like walking, running or mountain biking, you're sure to find something to suit you on the trails around Lac de Lenne, whatever your level. Starting from the beach at the Centre de Loisirs, there are 4 circuits of varying length and gradient.
Les berges du lac" circuit (30 min. - 2.27 km. - green markings):
Not feeling too brave today? Follow the green arrows along the banks of the lake. You'll probably come across fishermen, swimmers or joggers trying to beat their lap record. If you're feeling up to it on your return, you can try another variation!
Petite balade ombragée" circuit (45 min. - 4 km - blue signposting):
The name alone is enticing! In addition to enjoying the lake shore, once you've passed the ruisseau de Lenne, you can take a shady path up to the highest point of the loop, which offers a magnificent view of the lake.
La fontaine romaine" trail (1h - 5.5 km - orange markers):
Does the name of this trail arouse your curiosity? As the name suggests, it takes you to a Roman fountain that once supplied Rodez with water. Not far from the fountain is the village of Vors, through which this variant takes you.
Les versants nord de la Baraque" trail (2h30 - 7.5 km - purple markings):
Explore the northern slopes of Baraqueville, offering breathtaking views of the western Aveyron countryside. After skirting the RN88, you'll climb towards the highest point of Ségala, without actually reaching it, to take in the sights, especially on a clear day.
Au fil de l'eau" trail (4h - 11.45 km - red signposting):
Take the time to explore the Baraquevillois Ségala on a longer route that's suitable for both experienced walkers and mountain bikers. You'll follow a section of the "Cami Gran" that once linked Rodez and Albi, and enjoy a break by the Carcenac-Peyralès pond.
