In one of the best-preserved parts of the Margeride massif, the Three Sisters pass is said to have been named after the story of three sisters born in the parish of La Panouse, all three of whom were hired as servants in the local barracks. According to the dictionary of the rural world, these barracks refer to old inns located at the start of steep roads. This allowed the wagoners to reinforce their teams before setting off.

This magnificent trail crosses the high plateaus of Lozère with a proud appearance: it offers a compact earth surface with small stones and gravel. A real treat with superb panoramas as a backdrop.

Unexpected and yet very present! In the middle of this wild part of the Margeride massif you will find this superb washing and repair station for your bike: compressor, all valves and tools are available free of charge, while the washing device requires a contribution (normal). Also take the opportunity to fill your water bottles thanks to the small tap on the left.

Lac de Charpal lies at an altitude of 1,360 meters amidst raised bogs, forests, and heathland. This artificial reservoir, built in the 1930s, supplies Mende with drinking water. Today, it is a tranquil retreat, popular for hiking, nature observation, and its protected flora and fauna.

Very nice walk, the first part is a little difficult to access the lake because of the big difference in altitude. But the tour of the lake is very pleasant, and accessible with children (10 years old)

On the way to and along Lac de Charpal

An extremely pleasant walk with beautiful panoramas, to do on foot or by bike, a successful experience despite a headwind on the eastern side of the lake which cools the air, I highly recommend it.
