From the Hauts Vents Arboretum to the edge of the forest

Access to the arboretum car park is very well signposted and there is plenty of space on this fairly quiet path.

(S/E) To start, take a stroll through the arboretum until you reach the northern corner, where you’ll enter the forest.

(1) As soon as you enter the woodland, take the path on the left, join the road and continue to the left until you reach a 90° bend to the right.

(2) Take the path directly opposite you and walk round through a coniferous forest. Cross the road and continue along the path marked by the fitness trail equipment. Cross the road again and follow the path back to the arboretum.

(1) Walk through the arboretum again and head back to the car park (S/E).

A fitness trail with exercise stations is available along the entire route. The arboretum is a kind of educational park that brings together many species of trees from the region.

After the walk, you can head back towards Lac du Gast and stop at La Forge to watch the birds on the lake.
