Located in the eastern part of the Massif Central and occupying a vast area of medium-altitude mountains, the Montagne Ardéchoise is at the heart of the Monts d'Ardèche Regional Nature Park. Blessed with a wealth of natural and geological features, the omnipresent volcanism has earned several sites and volcanoes the UNESCO Geopark label.

We offer this hiking trip with our donkeys so you can discover several exceptional natural sites such as the sources 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.

This hiking holiday has been awarded the ‘Valeurs Parc Naturel Régional’ label.
