Tour of the Monts d'Ambazac (Haute-Vienne)

The trail winds its way through a land of legends, linking Compreignac to the serene Lake Saint-Pardoux, a true azure oasis nestled in a verdant setting. Hikers traverse landscapes of moorland and deep forests towards Razès and Beaubiat, where granite outcrops in the form of mysterious rock formations. Religious and medieval heritage is showcased in Bersac-sur-Rivalier and Laurière, charming villages that seem to have frozen time. Climbing towards La Bezassade and Jabreilles-les-Bordes, one discovers the remains of ancient fortified settlements and old kaolin mines, evidence of ancestral human activity. The route then meanders between the peat bogs and beech forests of Les Billanges, offering remarkable biodiversity where water is ever-present. The adventure ends in the gentle valleys of Saint-Laurent-les-Églises, after climbing peaks offering breathtaking views of the Blond mountains.
