The Abbey and the Abondance Cheese House invite you to discover the secrets of the woods through a fun treasure hunt. Armed with a map, a notebook and an activity pack, solve the final puzzle by deciphering the hidden clues. Are you up for the challenge?
Join us on 27 June 2026 for a sensory adventure in the heart of nature! In Abondance, we offer a unique experience to help you rediscover the forest. The Balade Branchée isn’t a digital trail; it’s an invitation to engage all five of your senses. The concept? Before setting off, collect your themed rucksack. A true explorer’s toolkit, it contains everything you need to interact with the wooded environment around you, tackle challenges and solve the final puzzle. Why will you love it? ● The fun factor: The included materials transform the walk into a real quest for discovery. ● The theme of wood: A precious resource of our mountains, wood reveals itself in all its forms. ● A return to nature: An activity where you take the time to observe. A walk that does you good, for curious little ones and nature lovers of all ages alike (for families, ages 6 and up, duration: 2½ hours). Bring closed-toe shoes and appropriate outdoor clothing. Smartphone recommended.
