Several routes are available starting from Les Lanches:

Departures are subject to favorable weather conditions. You are responsible for booking your own meals and overnight stays at the mountain huts.
A mandatory one-hour preparation session takes place the day before departure. You will learn how to prepare your donkey (brushing, hoof cleaning, and fitting the packsaddle) and how to handle the animal safely, and you will receive full details regarding your route. Saddlebags are provided for carrying your gear.
These hikes are self-guided (without a leader) and are intended for experienced hikers with children aged 5 and up.

After your hike, stop by our brand-new refreshment and souvenir shop to enjoy a cold drink and pick up a lovely holiday memento!
