Departing from the historic center of Vic sur Cère, this itinerary offers superb panoramic views of the Cère valley and the Monts du Cantal, with passages through forest (beech, oak, etc.).
Start at Place de l'Eglise. Take rue Cap del Lioc, then the path to Castel Viel.
At the intersection, turn right (a slight variation is possible with a round trip to the Cascade de la Conche - 15 min walk - then return to the intersection).
Continue along the path towards Castel Viel, where you'll find your first viewpoint.
Follow the path up towards Rocher de Maisonne; after a steep climb, you'll enjoy a panoramic view of the Cère valley.
At the crossroads, the path continues along the ridge and then into the undergrowth, joining a gravel track after a flat area, which leads to La Garde.
Go around the house at La Garde (alternative: return trip to the top of the Rocher de St Curial: approx. 30 min).
Turn right again to reach a chicane. Be careful to stay
on the "Grotte des Anglais" PR (common intersection with "La Ronde de Salilhes").
The PR descends into the meadow before entering the forest. After a steep descent, the path veers right to reach the Grotte des Anglais.

Fait en mode trail. Rando très chouette, mélange de forêt et de balade en alpages au milieu des vaches avec un super panorama. Difficile par endroit, montée raide et assez longue mais ça vaut le coup.
