Description

The “Villiers Gorges” trail takes you into the heart of the Andaines Forest, starting from Bagnoles-de-l’Orne.

Covering about 24 km, this demanding route crosses the Béryl wood, the Cour valley and several emblematic sites, such as the Saint-Antoine chapel and the River Maure.

You then discover the impressive "Gorges de Villiers", a wild natural site of rocks, heathland and springs, renowned for its mysterious atmosphere.

The return leg follows forest paths dotted with remarkable places, such as "the Hêtre de la Vierge" and "the Saint-Ortaire priory".

This is a long, challenging and immersive loop, ideal for exploring the natural and legendary richness of the area.

Remember to dress appropriately for the season (ticks, hunting, etc.) and to take your litter home with you: your outing will be all the better for it.

 

Warning! Check the hunting calendar before heading out.
