Nature trail in the forest
Presentation
The Manigod fun trail
A free, self-guided nature trail through the forest
Manigod is a real playground for families.
Set off to explore nature from the Col de Merdassier reservoir!
Throughout the summer, you’ll find nature-themed games and workshops to enjoy along a signposted trail.
Numerous workshops are organised from mid-July to mid-September by the Manigod Tourist Office, offering challenges for young and old alike and a lovely way to spend an afternoon. The workshops on this trail – which test dexterity, speed, coordination and balance – help develop children’s physical skills, whilst also providing an opportunity to spend an afternoon as a family in the heart of nature and recharge your batteries.
Suitable for families with young children, this free trail towards the Tête de Cabeau offers breathtaking panoramic views.
Relaxation stations: unwind in deckchairs and hammocks, draw the Manigod Valley, take a souvenir photo, or enjoy a lunch break at the picnic tables.
Agility stations: play hide-and-seek, have a go on the swings, build a den, cross the slackline, play hopscotch and race to the top, walk barefoot, or play Tarzan.
Sports stations: climb the rope, hang from the rings, cross the rope bridge, or crawl under the line "commando-style" without touching it.
Puzzle stations: solve riddles, count the anthills, or find the Dahu's ball.
