The Hiker's Certificate

 

What is the hiker’s certificate ?


Far from a competition, it’s a wide-open event, that enables you to discover a region differently, in a friendly spirit, walking at your own pace. Local hikers clubs and tourist offices work together to prepare each event and offer a choice of 3 different routes :
  • Family route, approximately 8 to 10 kms
  • Average route, approximately 15 kms
  • Sports round, approximately 25 to 30 kms
New tracks are open and marked out especially for the occasion.

Before walking, we offer you a breakfast and refreshment points mark out your route.
Comfort after your effort : when you come back you receive a present and a collation.

Have your certificate stamped !
