Labenne walks

As its name suggests, this hike runs along the Barrage d'Orx marsh in the nature reserve. The nature reserve consists of the Barrage marsh, which you can walk around, and the North Marsh and Central Marsh, which are closed to the public. The Burret Marsh, to the east, is located outside the nature reserve.

A flat route, very interesting for those who love nature and birds (best done during winter migration): grey cranes, ducks, geese, wading birds, etc.

This 7.5 km circuit, fully signposted, allows you to discover the twelve remarkable trees of the municipality of Labenne in the south of the Landes. Poplars, cork oaks and different types of pines, some of which are over 150 years old. There is an explanatory panel for each remarkable tree. This walk also allows you to immerse yourself in the Landes forest with its pines, eucalyptus trees, oaks and all the local vegetation (arbutus, broom, gorse, etc.). During this walk, you will pass behind Labenne Zoo where you may see lemurs or kangaroos. Please note that at the (8), you will need to climb a tuc (sand hill), which may be difficult for some people. Please respect nature (no picking) and be very vigilant about the risk of forest fires. Several of the plots you will be crossing are private, but the owners have given their permission.

A short walk inspired by a local resident, to discover the moorland near the Étang d'Hardy and Étang Blanc lakes. There are also sandy passages and a pine tree harvesting site, as this is also part of life in the Landes region. The end of the route is along the road, as the path mapped on the left no longer exists.

This walk, which goes from the Étang d’Hardy to the coast via a magnificent dune forest, should be undertaken using a GPS track or a mobile app. Otherwise, you will need at least a map and a compass. There are paths that appear on the map but do not exist on the ground, and conversely, paths that exist on the ground but do not appear on the map. The route follows only paths that are marked on the map. The walk presents no technical difficulties and the paths are easy to follow.
