Cancelled in case of bad weather
We recommend bringing light rain gear and proper hiking shoes that you have walked in before. Don't forget hats and sunscreen. A small emergency pharmacy (antiseptic, dressings, aspirin or doliprane for children, etc.) is always practical. Finally, think of water, something to snack on or a picnic.
For walks lasting more than 15 minutes, it is advisable to reserve your animal the day before your arrival or a few days in advance. In the event of bad weather, you can postpone your reservation (subject to availability) or cancel it.
