Considered the gateway to Aubrac, the village of Aumont-Aubrac captivates visitors with its distinctive architecture and omnipresent nature.
Discover:

You leave Saint-Chély d'Aubrac by crossing the pilgrims' bridge, which has been trodden by many footsteps. Then you'll have to climb to reach the high plateaus. Now things are quieter, as many hikers have stayed on the GR65. A beautiful stage between pastures, forests, and panoramic views.
Long stage tip: If you wish, you can shorten the stage by calling a taxi from St-Chely to take you to Les Infrux (-4km) or, if you are staying at the Auberge du Radal, opt for the shuttle from the Bonnecombe Pass to Le Trébatut (-7km).

L’Autre Chemin has developed numerous partnerships with guesthouses and small hotels (, ***, or equivalent) to offer you comfort and authenticity, making each stage an opportunity to discover architecture, lifestyle, gastronomy, as well as a moment for exchange and meeting new people.
Please note: The stages along the route are determined according to the pace we consider most suitable. We strive to offer stages that provide comfort, discovery, and authenticity in hotels, guesthouses, gîtes, or unique accommodations. However, the level of comfort may vary. Usually, bathrooms are en-suite, but depending on availability at the time of booking, the bathroom or WC may be located on the landing or shared in some accommodations, though this remains relatively rare.
in hotels, guesthouses, gîtes, or unique accommodations.
Half Board
When you choose a half-board trip, which generally includes a set-menu dinner and breakfast, we invite you to let us know about any food allergies or special dietary requirements you may have. Please note that breakfast may be either continental or international, depending on the accommodation.
The establishments should normally be able to accommodate the needs of travellers:
- with confirmed food allergies (allergies involving the immune system and potentially causing severe reactions such as anaphylactic shock), such as allergies to honey, nuts, shellfish, etc.
- vegetarians (Due to the complexity and significant constraints this places on accommodation providers, we are unfortunately unable to organise trips catering for a vegan diet.)
- following a diet for religious reasons
For food intolerances (digestive difficulties in processing certain foods, with symptoms that are purely digestive, such as lactose or gluten intolerance) and other dietary restrictions, we will inform the accommodation providers in advance. However, some establishments may find it difficult to accommodate all dietary requirements, which are becoming increasingly common. We therefore thank you in advance for adapting your food consumption to the meals provided during your stay and, if necessary, bringing any additional foods or supplements you may require, such as gluten-free bread.
Please note: Additional charges may apply for special diets, depending on the policies of individual accommodation providers.
Whether you’d like to book your stay on the Stevenson Trail or have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
