Walking (8 days / 7 nights) Ref: RAND 14

The massif of the Cantal offers a wide variety of walks favouring the discovery of our region and the people that bring it to life We have chosen those that seem the most interesting to us whilst trying to avoid the most over used. Thats why sometimes we go off the “beaten path”
Every week, from 26 April to 27 September we put together a walking group.

It’s our responsibility to offer groups of a size conducive to conviviality and good humour. This desire for quality leads us to put into place, depending on the numbers, 2 walking groups.

• Moderate group: 300 to 700 m of ascent
• Medium group: 300 to 1000 m of ascent
• 4 to 6 hours of walking per day, plus rest time

• Supplement single occupancy: 90 € (see practical information)
• Reductions: see practical information
• 10 people or more: see the group page

Difficulty of walks:

Every evening, taking the weather into consideration, we will propose a walk for each group. So that you can choose your your walk in full awareness of the facts we offer the following classification.

• 300 to 700 m of ascent. For regular walkers in good physical condition: no special difficulty.
• 700 to 1000m of ascent. For those who do regular physical activity (walking / jogging / gym)
• 1000 m and more of ascent. For those with prior preparation.
