Escap'Ânes – Discovery stay in a gîte

2 days

Gentle and peaceful landscape (mid-mountain: 400 to 1000m altitude), ideal for families with very young children looking for a fairly easy walk.

Roquefixade Castle perched on its rocky spur with a 360° view of the nearby Pyrenees and the plain beyond

Roquefort les Cascades and its petrifying waterfalls.

The Péreille gorges and its high cliffs where Egyptian vultures and peregrine falcons nest.

How many donkeys?

For safety reasons, no more than one donkey per adult.

How many kilos of equipment will the donkey have to carry?

Do you think you'll put children on the backs of donkeys?

Equipment

If you are camping, you will have a lot more equipment and food to carry than if you are staying in accommodation:
Under tent: 1 donkey for 2/3 people; 2 donkeys for 4/5; 3 donkeys for 6/7 people.
Accommodation: 1 donkey for 4/5 people; 2 donkeys for 6/8 people
(forecasts without children on the back of the donkey).
To ensure your donkey can walk with pleasure and stays in shape, your luggage will not weigh more than 30kg per donkey, to which will be added the weight of the pack saddle and the necessary maintenance for your donkey, making a total of approximately 40kg to be carried by the donkey.

The price includes

A donkey trained for hiking, its wooden pack saddle, two large saddlebags, grooming and tethering equipment for the night. IGN map with topography and instructions for leading a donkey and preparing the saddlebags.
