Circuit de Laguiole - Aubrac
In the heart of the Aveyron highlands, unfolding its impressive vastness, the Aubrac volcanic plateau profiles its horizons to infinity. All along this circuit, you will observe innumerable "Burons" with slate roofs (former mountain cheese dairies). The landscapes surrounding them, where the changing light at any moment sculpts the curves and rocks, create a unique atmosphere. As you slowly ascend towards Nasbinals, you will follow in the footsteps of the pilgrims on their way to Compostela. Stop halfway along the way and enjoy a "Aligot", a typical dish of our region, originally prepared in the famous Burons, in one of the many restaurants. Be careful, around you one of the richest flora in Europe covers these plates in the summer season. Continuing on, make a detour to the village of Aubrac, on the UNESCO World Heritage Site and the Council of Europe's Great Cultural Itinerary, to visit the Dômerie church and discover the "Maison de l'Aubrac", a showcase of the history and traditions of this region. On the way, you will pass by the Laguiole ski resort where the youngest come to learn how to ski on the snowy winter slopes. Finally, back in Laguiole, stroll in this small lively village with many skills. Indeed, from its famous knife to the making of the AOC Laguiole cheese, this village conceals many attractive shop windows.
