🐮 Transhumance in Aubrac 2026 🐮
📅 Sunday, May 24, 2026
🌸 Come and take part in the greatest traditional spring festival in Aubrac.
🔔 Following tradition, the Transhumance always takes place on the Sunday closest to May 25. This year it will be May 24, 2026.
The Transhumance Festival has been organized for more than 40 years by the "Traditions en Aubrac" association. The details of the festivities are here: https://transhumance-aubrac.fr
✨ And as every year for the past 15 years, the Camping La Romiguière team hosts you, entertains you and helps you organize a memorable stay in the heart of Aubrac.
Needless to say, we have some experience welcoming you to this unique event! 💪
On Sunday, May 24, 2026, the small village of Aubrac will welcome nearly 10,000 visitors. But don’t worry, everything is perfectly organized. Transport, parking, food, entertainment... everything will be ready and waiting for you!
ℹ️ To better understand how the event is organized, it is important to distinguish between:
- 🍀 The festivities organized by "Traditions en Aubrac". They begin on Thursday and end on Sunday with the ascent of the cows to the summer pastures. Reservations for activities and meals are made directly with the association.
- 🏕️ The accommodation and entertainment you will find at our campsite: you are in the right place!
Here we go! The adventure begins here!... 🥾
Camping La Romiguière is located about 40 minutes (by car) from the village of Aubrac. This way, you can enjoy the peace of the campsite, ideally situated between the Lot Valley (Estaing, Espalion, Saint-Cosme), the Truyère Valley (Entraygues) and Aubrac (Laguiole), while still joining the Transhumance festivities in Aubrac. 📍

The Aubrac Transhumance Festival in practice 🛠️
It is in the village of Aubrac that you must be on Sunday, May 24. Throughout the day, the herds coming from the valleys converge on the village square. Some walk more than 50 kilometers on foot! 🐾 After a well-deserved break and refreshment at the fountain, the herds continue their march to the summer pastures.
You can simply soak up the atmosphere by staying in the village to watch the herds pass and by enjoying an aligot at the local farmers' market 🍴. But you can also follow a herd for a few kilometers along paths and drovers’ roads.
If it is your first time, we recommend not trying to do too much. Come, sit by the roadside, watch the herds pass, enjoy the farmers' market and the folk entertainment, and fill your head and eyes with the colors and scents of Aubrac... 🤩
How to get to Aubrac 🚗
From Camping La Romiguière, there is no difficulty getting to Aubrac. Some roads are closed to traffic, but not on our side. Near the village, large car parks are organized in the fields and, if you don’t want to continue on foot, free shuttles run back and forth all day to the village. 🚌
No worries, we will give you all the practical information so you can fully enjoy this day ✅
An entrance fee (€8 per person) is required by the "Traditions en Aubrac" association which organizes the festivities.
🚫 Please note that dogs are not allowed at the campsite and it is strongly discouraged to attend the Transhumance with a dog ⚠️

The Aubrac motorhome area is closed during the week before the Transhumance Festival – a field is provided near the village for motorhome parking (charged). ⚠️ There are no services. You must be self-sufficient in water, energy and food. If the weather is uncertain, bring boards to get out of the field... 🌦️

The Aubrac Regional Natural Park 🌿
The Aubrac Regional Natural Park covers more than 2,000 km², from 220 m to 1,490 m altitude. The village of Aubrac (1,300 m altitude) is located in the heart of the Plateau, the cradle of Aubrac cattle breeding. 🐂
When May 25 arrives, the cows grow restless as if the mountain were calling them. The cows' heads are decorated with holly, flowers, flags and bells. This tradition is above all linked to a method of breeding specifically adapted to the Aubrac natural environment. 💐🔔
Enjoy animal shows, meetings with farmers, traditional music and dances... To eat, try the « Aubrac Night » with Aubrac aligot and beef grilled over a wood fire! 🍴🔥
