My first starry night

Imagine two days of hiking, an immersion in the wild nature of the Beaujolais region, with an easy departure from Tarare train station. On the first day, hike 24,4 km through deciduous forests and across open ridges to reach the bivouac area at the Col de la Croix de l'Orme. It is equipped with three platforms, dry toilets, and a drinking water tap. The next day, after a night under the stars, continue your adventure on 12,6 km of wild trails, near the Beaujolais wind farm, before arriving at Amplepuis train station.

This trip is ideal for hiking enthusiasts who want to experience backpacking while staying close to inhabited areas. Accessible by train and without a car, you'll be immersed in a natural setting. It's the perfect playground to reconnect with nature and enjoy the scenery, with beautiful views, wildlife, and sweeping panoramas.

This experience is suitable for experienced, self-sufficient, and well-equipped hikers, ready to carry their camping gear and provisions for two days. It is advisable to prepare thoroughly, check the weather forecast, and bring appropriate clothing, comfortable shoes, and binoculars for observing nature. By respecting the rules of the bivouac area, where fires are prohibited and where tranquility and cleanliness are essential, you will share this magical place in harmony with other campers and the surrounding wildlife.

A true micro-adventure not to be missed, far from the daily hustle and bustle!
