Rando Tour en famille des sources de la Loire au pas de l'âne

Discover the Ardèche Mountains in an original and unusual way with our long-eared companions. A guided hiking tour with donkeys, designed for families.
6-day/5-night stay / 2½ days of hiking.

Type of trip: Self-guided / Itinerant / Loop


Overall level of difficulty: FAIRLY EASY

We offer this hiking trip 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.
