Puech del Pal

Puech del Pal reaches an elevation of 1,155 meters above sea level, offering views of the Aveyron valley, Aubrac mountains, Larzac plateau, and Lacaune mountains.

The mountain area contains ancient pathways and archaeological remains that indicate continuous human presence and activities since prehistoric times in the Aveyron region.

The summit features a panoramic orientation table that helps visitors identify geographical landmarks across a 390-degree view of the surrounding French landscapes.

Hikers can access the mountain through a 14.7-kilometer marked trail starting from the town hall parking lot in Vézins-de-Lévézou, following red and yellow signs.

Two typical peat bogs near the summit provide nesting grounds for various bird species, including the royal kite, yellow bunting, and short-toed eagle.
