We offer you a day's ride with a donkey, to meet the marmots in the sumptuous valley of Orlu. This walk takes you to the reserve, a privileged observation site for mountain flora and fauna.
After 1 hour of easy walking, the valley opens onto large open spaces, the domain of summer pastures and herds.
The walk continues to the bottom of the En Gaudu jasse; the return is made by the same path. Take the time to appreciate ... From here, you can observe and listen to the hissing marmots but also, sometimes, chamois, large raptors or beautiful butterflies!
Departure between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. from the Fanguil car park, at the entrance to the reserve, free return time.
Reservation essential.
Over 2 or 3 days, you also have the option of going up with "your" donkey to the En Beys pond (3h30 walk) to sleep in a bivouac or at the En Beys refuge. The donkey does not go further than the refuge.
