Located in the eastern part of the Massif Central and occupying a vast area of ​​mid-mountain terrain, the Ardèche Mountains lie at the heart of the Monts d'Ardèche Regional Natural Park. Endowed with great natural and geological wealth, the omnipresent volcanism has led to the awarding of UNESCO Global Geopark status to several sites and volcanoes.
We offer this hiking trip with our donkeys to discover several exceptional natural sites such as the Vestide du Pal (ancient volcano), the Verrerie peat bog and the watershed line.
The donkeys will allow your children to discover hiking and play the role of a real “engine” to stimulate them and make them forget the kilometers and different climbs in a very fun way.
Several visits, such as a sheep farm, sled dogs, a traditional farm, nature observations (marmots) or even some swimming will enhance this hiking stay for an unforgettable discovery of the Ardèche Mountains.
