Nordic walking through the moors - Saint-Etienne-la-Varenne - Beaujolais

The Attractions of the Route

A long and uneven course tailor-made for a sporting practice of walking. The moors, open spaces to take a nature cure, breathe deeply, oxygenate your body and mind.

Privileged access to a biotope of wild beauty that stimulates physical effort. A getaway to the lands of Patou, the majestic guardian of the sheep grazing in the moors. Be careful, the dog is there to watch over the herds, caresses of the gaze are enough for him, do not approach or disturb him. If he comes to meet the walkers, stay calm and let him make sure without touching him that there is no danger. When and how to take advantage of it? Live at the first light of the morning to gain height at the pace of the breaking dawn while enjoying the freshness. Ideally in mid-season, a symbolic period to take the pulse of the earth and renew its energy. By awakening your awareness of the beauty of the environment and participating in its preservation: keep dogs on a leash, stay on marked trails… Keep binoculars close at hand and take a contemplative break in the silence of the moors.
