Camping de Saint-Urcize

Bring your boots and/or your bike: hiking trails leave from the site and bike/mountain bike rental and guided tours of plateau's circuits are available at the village tourist office. If you’d like to see the area on horseback, a riding centre 10 minutes away has a programme of treks and lessons for beginners. For something a little gentler, it’s about a 15-minute drive to fishing in the Bès river. Buy daily fishing licences from a hotel in the Saint-Urcize ski area, or sign up for an organised course for novices and intermediates – the site staff can point you in the right direction. Club wielders of all ages have a golf course, driving range and miniature golf course half an hour away in Chaudes-Aigues. Also in Chaudes-Aigues is further wallowing at the thermal centre, with thermal waterfalls, saunas, a hammam, thermal treatments and an outdoor pool with underwater music. A whole new range of activities opens up in winter: Saint-Urcize (a five-minute drive away) has 35 kilometres of cross country ski trails, six downhill trails, snowshoeing, dog sledding and tobogganing.
