Riders: 23.46Km - Carriages: 24.27Km
Landscapes that blend blue and green between lakes and woods.
The 1600 gentillés are called salarsipontains and salarsipontaines. Pont-de-Salars in Lévézou is a high plateau with vast lakes. This green setting with its natural riches invites us to discover the diversity of its natural spaces and its ecosystem.
The Lévézou region has undergone major changes that have altered its history and landscape with the creation of lakes and dams on its hilly lands.
A hydroelectric system that collects river water through a network of tunnels, which is then released into the Tarn Valley.
This 190-hectare lake stretches across two communes, Pont de Salars and Le Vibal. It is a reservoir located at an altitude of 718 m, and is very rugged. It is fed by the Viaur River and has an arch-type dam built between 1948 and 1952.
Fishing is part of the local culture. At Pont de Salars Lake, you can fish for perch, pikeperch, and large white fish such as roach.
The horses, riders, drivers, walkers, and mountain bikers of the Discovery Hiking Route will stop at the Lac du Lac campsite. Located at Lac des Rousseleries, the campsite stretches over 500 meters of grassy shoreline and 200 hectares. Bordered by fields, it's an ideal place to discover the diversity of the terrain and the richness of the local flora and fauna, as well as for swimming! The Lac du Lac campsite offers a warm and friendly atmosphere with a water sports center right next door where everyone can rent and enjoy canoes, kayaks, pedal boats, and paddleboards.
