Winter wildlife in Lozère - France

Nordic skiing, downhill skiing, dog-sledding, Lozère in winter offers "alternative living" stays.

With more than 500km of signposted slopes, the ski resorts of Le Mas de la Barque, Les Bouviers or Mont Lozère and the Massif de L'Aubrac offer you the chance to practice your favourite winter sport in exceptionally beautiful and preserved countryside, across wooded expanses or on the crests along the peaks.

Lozère offers a unique opportunity to meet bisons and wolves in a natural environment:

European Bisons
Naturally found in the wild only in the north of Europe, the European Bison has been reintroduced in La Margeride. Here they live in semi-captivity on over 200 hectares. Visits are made mainly by horse-drawn carriage or by sledge in winter. The trip (around 1 hour) allows the discovery of bisons in their natural habitat. An information space reveals the history of their survival since prehistoric times. bisoneurope.com

The Wolves of Le Gévaudan
More than a hundred wolves (from Canada, Siberia, Mongolia or Poland) live in semi-captivity. On the legendary lands of Gévaudan, these wolves have found safe haven in many wooded hectares of space where you can discover them by taking a guided tour of the park.

Relaxing holidays:
Come and discover the benefits of rest, relaxation, well-being, of soothing and cocooning in calming surroundings in the Lozère. Far from the stresses and strains of daily life, the Lozère is the dream destination for unwinding and indulging yourself. Countryside spas were born out of the confluence of an exceptionally well-preserved environment and thermal springs whose benefits have always been enjoyed.
