Loqueffret walks

During this hike, you will discover the Chaos de Mardoul while following in the footsteps of the pilhaouerien, itinerant traders who travelled from farm to farm, laden with earthenware (bowls, plates, dishes) which they exchanged for rags.

A beautiful hike around Lake Saint-Michel, with views of the Monts d'Arrée, discovering the Yeun Elez peat bogs, menhirs and legends dear to the writer Anatole Le Braz.

Delve into the heart of the Monts d'Arrée on this beautiful hike that passes by two of its iconic peaks: Ménez-Mikel and Roc'h Cléger. Last stop: a strange megalithic alignment lost in the moorland of "An Eured Veign" (The Wedding of Stones).

Le Yeun Ellez, which has been modified since the construction of the nuclear power plant in 1962, is now adorned with the Nestavel dam reservoir. In the past, only the desert moors gave this basin its wild dimension, which Breton legend says constitutes the 'Gates of Hell'. Let yourself be enchanted by the place and its legends. The rest of the route takes you up the two neighbouring peaks: Tuchenn Kador (384 m) and Menez Mikel (381 m).

On the border between Léon and Cornouaille, at the foot of the Roc'h mountain range (Roc'h Trédudon, Roc'h Trévézel), the iconic backbone of the Monts d'Arrée, La Feuillée, Brittany's highest village, is well worth a visit.

This short hike will take you to the ridges of the Monts d'Arrée, offering beautiful panoramic views of the Yeun Elez and introducing you to a village steeped in history.

This hike takes you from the foot of the Monts d'Arrée to the ridge, which rises to 385 m, with superb panoramic views on both sides.

The walk is mainly in the Forest of Huelgoat, starting from Lake Huelgoat with little elevation gain. Points of interest: the Devil's Cave, the Virgin's Household, the Trembling Rock, the Red Bridge, Artus' Cave, the Menhir of the Boar Pond, the Boar Pond, the viewpoint, Artus' Camp.

Does the Rivière d'Argent (Silver River), which glitters beneath the canopy of trees, owe its name to its bright sparkle in the twilight, or is it the nuggets that have escaped from the old mine that give it such a luminous appearance? The walk, which follows the mine's supply channel and then the turbulent course of the river, may provide the answer. It appears that the route is no longer passable between points 4 and 6. If you venture there, please confirm this on the comments page.

In the heart of the Huelgoat Forest, this woodland setting hides a wealth of heritage treasures. The Mine Canal will take you to the old silver-lead mine and then on to the most iconic sites in this legendary forest.

Hiking in wild areas, mostly unmarked. Woods, rivers, moors, views of several peaks of the Monts d'Arrée, Lake Brennilis, Saint-Michel Chapel.

Nestled in a green valley, this commune has all the charm of the mountain countryside, with its sunken lanes, hedgerows, streams and rugged terrain. The name of the commune comes from the name of the parish patron saint, Saint Rivoal, formerly Riwall, the name of a large family that emigrated from Brittany to Great Britain in the 5th and 6th centuries. Saint-Rivoal has been awarded the "Communes du Patrimoine Rural de Bretagne" (Communes of Rural Heritage in Brittany) label.

Discover the superb panoramic views to the north and south from the summit of the Monts d'Arrée. This fairly strenuous hike takes you across the moorland ridges, through the small village of Plounéour-Ménez, and then along the wooded paths of the forest around La Feuillée.

Starting from the beautiful Mougau Bihan covered walkway in Commana, this route crosses the nearby peat bog and then climbs up to a ridge on Mont-d'Arrée. Following this ridge, you reach the shores of Lake Drennec before returning along small country roads.

A hike in the heart of the Huelgoat forest, rich in legends but away from the tourist trails. A typical Central Brittany landscape awaits you with forests, hills, valleys, rivers, houses, calvaries and Breton churches.

Between the 16th and 18th centuries, thanks to linen weaving, Commana enjoyed a period of prosperity, which explains the richness of its parish enclosure. From the village, dominated by its 57-metre-high bell tower, the view stretches north to the Léon plateau and south to the ridges of the Monts d'Arrée. This route along the ridges and through the countryside takes you to the 14-metre-long Mougau Bihan covered walkway, a beautiful peat bog with an interpretive route, and old slate quarries.

A varied route where you can discover aspects of the Breton countryside that have changed little over time. Cross moors and woods, pass through isolated hamlets to return to the lake and its landscaped surroundings.

Roc'h ar Feunteun, Roc'h Trédudon, Roc'h Trévézel, a line of jagged ridges. In the heart of the Armorique Regional Nature Park, the Monts d'Arrée rise up in a landscape of moors, heather and gorse. These landscapes give off a surprising impression, marked by unreality, mystery and authenticity, which we know well in inland Brittany.

Mountains in Brittany? It's possible. Despite their low altitude, the Monts d'Arrée offer a real mountain setting with rocks emerging from the moorland. This route along the mountain ridges will immerse you in a landscape of heather, gorse and rocky ridges similar to those found in Ireland or Wales. Please note: Since the fires of summer 2022, a municipal decree prohibits passage through the peat bog before the point (10). The circular is currently impossible.

At the gateway to the Monts d'Arrée, this is a short, easy and bucolic walk that never strays far from the lake and is shaded by trees. Crossing the floating footbridge adds a nice touch to this walk.

The municipality of Châteauneuf-du-Faou wanted to pay tribute to the painter Paul Sérusier, who stayed there and then lived there from 1906 until his death in 1927: creation of a museum, which opened in June 2025, and installation of a trail punctuated by eight information panels passing through places that were sources of inspiration for him.A walk along the banks of the River Aulne and through the woods completes the trail.

Starting from Châteauneuf-du-Faou, the route follows the Nantes-Brest Canal and sunken lanes.

After a leisurely walk along the Nantes-Brest canal, you will climb a little higher into the countryside, where you will have a bird's eye view of the Aulne, the Montagnes Noires and the Monts d'Arrée.You will return to your starting point after walking along small country roads and sunken lanes.

Let's take a leisurely stroll along the canalised Aulne for about 6 km, passing three locks. Then let's head back up small roads towards the Notre-Dame de Kerluan Chapel. Let's climb a little further to finally descend back down to the banks of the Aulne.

Make your way gently along the the Aulne following the logging trail. Views over the lock keepers’ houses located on the other side. Passage through the Vieux-Bourg and its St-They church, the birthplace of the parish of Lothey until 1846.
