Hiking

Find the way to your foot

The best way to discover the Montagne bourbonnaise is to walk its more than 400 km of marked trails. The great hikers will take the GR 3 or the GR 3A, which crosses the massif from north to south, the two variants forming a largeloop of nearly 70 km, while lovers of small family walks can choose from among about thirty small hiking routes (PR)to explore every corner of the territory.
