Type of holiday: Independent / Itinerant / Circular
General level of the hike: FAIRLY EASY
We offer this hiking holiday with our donkeys so you can discover several exceptional natural sites such as the source of the Loire, Mont Gerbier de Jonc, Vestide du Pal (an ancient volcano), the Verrerie peat bog and the watershed.
The donkeys will allow your children to discover hiking and act as a real ‘driving force’ to stimulate them and make them forget the kilometres and various climbs in a very playful way.
Several visits, such as a sheep farm, sled dogs, a traditional farm, nature observations (marmots) and even a few swims will enhance this hiking holiday for an unforgettable discovery of the Monts d’Ardèche.
