Accommodation

5 nights in hotels & B&Bs. During the trip you will be accommodated in 2-3 star hotels and Chambres d'hôtes (B&Bs) on a twin share basis. The mix of accommodations is one of the great attractions of the trip, with the Chambres d'hôtes offering home style cuisine and house wine, and the gastronomy in the hotels ranging from good to excellent.

What You Carry

As the walks are fully supported you only need to carry a daypack with your daily requirements including wet weather gear, lunch supplies, water bottle, warm top, phone etc.

Grading

Daily walks are between 19 to 30km on well marked trails over diverse terrain – from relatively flat to mountainous. There are some reasonable hills. This is a well worn path where route finding is straight forward (refer below for further details on self guided walking). The main areas to concentrate on route finding are arriving and leaving towns. The accent is on keeping a steady pace to take in all of the attractions, with time to stop and take photos. You will need a good level of fitness and walking endurance to participate fully in this holiday.

Travel to Le-Puy-en-Velay and from Aumont-Aubrac is not included. Luggage transfer is provided, strictly 1 bag of 13kg per person, with excess charges per bag applying. Transfers by taxi or public transport are available if you need to skip a stage.
