Parcours de l'ancienne voie ferrée Bertholène-Gabriac-Bozouls-Espalion
Set off on foot, horseback, mountain bike or mountainbike along this former railroad line, ideal for family outings as well as for sports enthusiasts.
This 22 km path between Bertholène and Espalion offers a variety of landscapes and views of our beautiful heritage, including the calvary at Gabriac, the château at Calmont d'Olt and Tholet, as well as panoramic views over the Causse and the Lot valley.
The final section, between Bozouls and Espalion (gently downhill in this direction, and uphill in the opposite direction), takes you through several tunnels and viaducts.
Distance between villages: Bertholène - Gabriac - Bozouls: 11 km / Bozouls - Espalion: 11 km.
Possible departure points: Parking de l'ancienne gare in Bozouls (at the equestrian center) or parking de l'ancienne gare in Espalion (at the end of avenue de la gare)
A few useful precautions:
The road surface is not suitable for road bikes, only mountain bikes
Not all tunnels are lit, so a headlamp is required
