Our favorite activities around Camping Sunêlia La Source
Discover the best activities to do during your stay in Aveyron
Located on the shores of Lake Sarrans, Camping Sunêlia La Source enjoys a prime location for exploring the landscapes of Aveyron, the Aubrac plateau, and the Truyère gorges.
Water sports, hiking, charming villages, local markets, swimming, family fun, or nature exploration: the region offers a wide variety of experiences to suit every vacation pace.
Through this selection, we share the activities we most recommend to our guests, as well as several experiences tested and enjoyed by the campsite team.
Welcome to Aubrac!
Northern Aveyron and the Aubrac plateau form a distinctive territory, shaped by vast and unspoiled landscapes. Between volcanic plateaus, deep forests, valleys, and isolated burons (traditional shepherd's huts), the region offers a raw and authentic natural environment, perfect for disconnecting from the everyday. Here, the seasons dictate local life: verdant summer pastures welcome herds, while winter reveals a quieter, more rugged atmosphere. A land of livestock farming, traditions, and expertise, the Aubrac is also renowned for its gastronomy, particularly Aubrac beef and distinctive cheeses. Northern Aveyron captivates visitors seeking space, simplicity, and authentic experiences, far removed from standardized tourist routes. A vibrant, wild, and deeply engaging territory.
Aloa Nature: the team's absolute favorite
Located just minutes from the campsite, Aloa Nature Accrobranche is one of the must-do activities around Lake Sarrans.
Every season, our team tests the Laussac zipline again before summer.
The site offers several outdoor activities, including treetop adventure courses, via ferrata, and nature games, but the giant zipline is clearly the most memorable experience. Installed above Lake Sarrans, it offers a 500-meter descent with an unobstructed view of the Laussac peninsula and the surrounding landscapes.
The activity is accessible from age 5, with tandem rides available for younger children depending on conditions and weight.
During peak season, we recommend booking in advance, as morning slots are often the most pleasant for enjoying the site in optimal conditions.
For holidaymakers looking for a fun, nature-based and family-friendly activity, this is clearly an address we regularly recommend during camping stays.
Via ferrata at the Bureau des Moniteurs: Margot's experience
Just 20 minutes from Camping Sunêlia La Source, the via ferrata run by the Bureau des Moniteurs is one of the activities we highly recommend to holidaymakers seeking thrills and a connection with nature. I personally tested the route this season to assess its actual difficulty and appeal to our guests, and I wholeheartedly recommend it: the route alternates between vertical sections, aerial traverses, and more physically demanding sections, all within the typical natural setting of the Truyère gorges. With reassuring supervision and reliable equipment, you can fully enjoy the experience even without being an experienced climber, provided you are comfortable with heights.

Designed as a living and educational space, the farm also offers activities for birthdays, school trips, and specialized organizations, as well as animal-assisted therapy sessions that promote well-being and connection with living beings. A simple, immersive, and accessible experience to reconnect the public with nature and animals.
The Wings of Carladez: a hot air balloon flight over the landscapes of Aveyron
Les Ailes du Carladez offers an extraordinary aerial experience in the heart of the unspoiled landscapes of the Aveyron region. Aboard a hot air balloon, participants discover the magic of a gentle flight, carried by the wind, at sunrise or sunset. The experience begins with the balloon's preparation, where everyone can watch and participate in the inflation, before slowly ascending into the air for a moment of silence and contemplation. The approximately one-hour flight offers spectacular panoramic views of the valleys, plateaus, and hills of the Carladez region, in an atmosphere that is both friendly and immersive. Led by passionate pilots, this activity, accessible from age 10, combines discovery, emotion, and total disconnection. An unforgettable aerial adventure, between sky and earth.
Margot tried it and recommends the experience for its magical, silent, and timeless nature.
