    • The Larzac Rail Bike, an extraordinary experience accessible to all


      What a pleasure to admire the beauty of the Aveyron landscapes without any particular effort! Departing from the Sainte-Eulalie-de-Cernon station, the Vélorail du Larzac invites you to experience an unforgettable moment with family or friends aboard a railway vehicle, an unusual journey installed on an old railway line. By car, the station is open from April to October !


      Fun trails accessible to all in Aveyron

      There's something for everyone at the Vélorail du Larzac with 5 varied routes that reveal magnificent panoramas of the Cernon Valley. Each vehicle can accommodate 4 adults or 2 adults and 3 children, depending on their age, from the youngest to the oldest, and dogs are even welcome for this unique experience. Ready to embark? Choose your route and let yourself be guided:

      • The Papillons trail is a 4km climb to Le Rouquet before descending to Sainte-Eulalie-de-Cernon. Don't worry, the rail bikes are equipped with electric assistance. 1 hour
      • The Orchids trail takes you on an 8km descent to the Bastide Pradines train station. After a short stop, a tourist train will take you back to the starting station. 2 hours
      • The Larzac Express route is a train departure to the Bastide Pradines station before returning by tourist train. 1 hour
      • The Grand Voyage route is a complete discovery of the old railway line with an initial railbike tour on the Papillon route, followed by a trip on the tourist train on the Larzac Express.

      Open your eyes wide to admire the landscapes passing before you, punctuated by tunnels and viaducts all along the journey.


      Some practical information before boarding the Larzac Rail Bike

      Each journey is a round trip on a single track. Departures are therefore at fixed times and in single file convoys, with safety distances to be respected. Once installed, all you have to do is enjoy this incredible journey on the Larzac plateau, a joyful violation of a prohibition on a railway line. To satisfy the small hunger during the ride, snacks are open at the Sainte-Eulalie-de-Cernon station and at the Bastide Pradines station, which even offers a small restaurant in summer, and a shop to leave with a nice souvenir.

      The Larzac Rail Bike, an unforgettable getaway.

    Disappointing. Extremely expensive for self-propelled electric bikes, so while it's accessible to everyone, there's no satisfaction in powering your bike yourself... The Papillon route is very quick to complete. You spend as much time waiting as you do "pedaling." The train ride is quite nice, but paying €25 for a one-hour round trip train ride with NO explanation of the scenery, the history of the railway line, or the Larzac is a steep price to pay. This is the first time I've seen a tourist train without a tour guide... Especially since the loudspeakers are installed! If you go, choose the Orchids route, which includes a bike ride and a train ride back.
