Walks in freedom

The desire to « take to the open sea » has guided you to the ecolodge. The desire to go for a walk and stretch your legs followed effortlessly for a day’s walk in the heart of the forest. Here, there’s no rocky terrain or dizzying gradients… just the gentleness of flower-filled mountain pastures, dotted with small villages and hamlets.

Stop here! The village of Chalinargues has a picturesque church with a combed steeple… Further on, there’s the little hamlet of La Boissonnière and its pair of artisan potters. Don’t forget to stop off at La Roche aux Fruits for a tasty sorbet made from gentian, elderberry or blackberry… The plants and berries of the forest have pride of place.

This woodland area, dotted with lakes, peat bogs and volcanic peaks, will take you on dreamlike walks for 3 to 5 hours in the fresh air.
