Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about hiking with a donkey

Do I need to be an experienced hiker?
No, our circuits are suitable for all levels, including beginners and families. Good physical condition is advised. We take the time to teach you how to handle the donkey before you leave (grooming, saddling, leading).
From what age can children participate?
Children must, in principle, be at least 3 years old. They can ride the donkey (under parental responsibility) if they are tired, generally up to a maximum of 40kg. For toddlers, please contact us.
Can I bring my dog?
In principle no, some hosts do not accept them, except for bivouac or day trips, of course.
How about accommodations?
We book accommodations for you (stopover gites, guest houses, campsites, or bivouac depending on your formula). They are all selected for their welcome and their ability to accommodate donkeys (fenced meadow, water, hay).
What does the donkey carry?
The donkey carries your luggage (clothes, picnic, water, sleeping gear) in your own backpacks or travel bags, up to a maximum of 30-40kg. This allows you to walk light! Be careful not to overload it for its comfort.
Are donkeys stubborn?
It's a legend! Donkeys are cautious and think before acting. If they stop, it's often because they perceive a danger or don't understand what is expected of them. With the advice we give you at the start, a relationship of trust is established very quickly.
