Tour du Massif Mézenc-Gerbier avec un âne

Discover volcanic streams and exceptional panoramic views
6-day/5-night trip / 6 days of hiking
A slightly more challenging tour of the volcanoes of the Monts d’Ardèche with your family and a donkey.

Type of trip: Independent / Itinerant / Loop


Overall level of difficulty: SLIGHTLY DIFFICULT

Located in the eastern part of the Massif Central and occupying a vast area of medium-altitude mountains, the Ardèche mountains lie at the heart of the Monts d’Ardèche Regional Nature Park. Blessed with a wealth of natural and geological features, the omnipresent volcanic activity has earned several sites and volcanoes the UNESCO Geopark label.
During this hiking holiday, we invite you to discover exceptional sites such as the Monts Mézenc, Mont Gerbier de Jonc, the sources of the Loire, the Boutières and the area of the five sucs.
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.
