10 jours sur le GR®69 La Routo avec des ânes, entre les vallées de la Blanche et de la Stura
Program
Tis'Ânes invites you to discover the GR®69 La Routo in the company of their donkeys. Travel in the footsteps of transhumance. The donkeys know the way well and will accompany you with a knowing step while carrying your bags.
It's an original way to rediscover simple joys and create unforgettable memories.
The GR®69 La Routo will take you from the La Javie ecomuseum to that of Pontebernardo in Italy. You will cross abandoned hamlets in the mountains of the Vallée de la Blanche, Haute Ubaye and La Stura in breathtaking landscapes.
Set off to discover our magnificent region, made up of mountains, valleys and ancestral drailles which will allow you to discover a landscape with a thousand facets and to meet people who will be able to tell you about their lives and the history of their mountains. You are provided with the bags as well as technical sheets.
A donkey carries the luggage of 2 to 3 people, i.e. 30 to 40 kg of load in total.
The start of your adventure…
Tis'Ânes welcomes you the day before your hike. As soon as you arrive, you will settle in peacefully in one of our comfortable Lodge tents. You will then have the pleasure of getting to know your long-eared companion. After a good night's sleep and a hearty breakfast, we will meet to teach you how to ride and take care of your donkey with complete confidence. We will take the time to explain to you how to prepare your luggage in order to balance the load in the bags. Our donkey becomes your donkey for the duration of your stay. You will be able to create a bond with your traveling companion. We then accompany you initially until you feel completely confident with your new friend.
On my way…
