Meet up in Burzet with Les Ânes de Farfara to discover the joys of hiking with a donkey!

The Fédération Nationale Âne et Randonnée (FNAR) invites the general public to discover a unique experience: hiking with a donkey.
During Printemps de l'Âne (Donkey Spring), around thirty passionate donkey owners open their doors across France to introduce people to this gentle activity, which is accessible to all and deeply rejuvenating.
Far from being a simple walk, hiking with a donkey is a real sensory and human adventure. Calm, affectionate and endearing, the donkey becomes a travelling companion.
Its leisurely pace of 3 or 4 km/hour sets a peaceful rhythm that invites you to slow down, observe and contemplate. A welcome break in our often too fast-paced lives.

A day full of discoveries:
Donkey guiding on a fun nature trail with various natural and artificial obstacles to overcome near the farm
Quadrix test (all-terrain wheelchair for people with reduced mobility)
An experience accessible to all

Whether you're with family, friends or on your own, whether you're looking for a gentle activity or a real chance to disconnect, this experience promises unforgettable memories and funny stories to tell.
