Saint-Georges-de-Rouelley walks
The Fosse Arthour tour
This easy hike allows you to discover the Fosse Arthour. It is a geological fault called a cluse, which gives the landscape an exceptional appeal.
This cluse forms a narrow, 70-metre-deep gorge carved into a rocky ridge and strewn with large boulders on its sides. The area is ideal for walking and climbing.
Forges de Varennes and La Nocherie via the Voie Verte and footpaths
A picturesque circular route with no navigation difficulties, ideal for families. The route mainly follows the Flers-Domfront Greenway, passes by the Château de Varenne and its old forges, then climbs up a path towards the Manoir de la Nocherie. It rejoins the Greenway after crossing the Varenne at the Moulin de la Nocherie ford to return to the start.
Via La Belle Eau from Mortain-Bocage
Although "Belle Eau" is the name of a hamlet located at the northernmost point of this route, hikers will be amazed from the outset by the water gushing through the rocks in magnificent waterfalls. The route continues along wide paths, often bathed by runoff water from the various branches of the Cance, and ends on a high note with the panorama offered at altitude 314, famous not only for its small chapel but also for the battles that took place there in August 1944.
The Iron Route - Discovering the mining region of Orne
During this hike, you will discover surprising mining remains: iron mine shafts, calcination furnaces from before and after 1938, and a mining town.
The hike begins along a Way of the Cross that will take you to the Calvary of Mont Brûlé.
The hike winds through the undergrowth and follows a few sections of road.
During your journey, you will discover a castle and an old watermill nestled in a green setting.
Around Mont Secret
Circling Mont Secret with an off-centre start at the car park near L’Aufrairie, this more challenging route climbs towards Mont de Cerisy along the section belonging to the commune of Montsecret. Between two hills, will Mont Secret perhaps reveal itself?
The sunken lanes of La Dorée
The Mayenne is a land of pastures where plots of land remain small. There are numerous sunken lanes here, and you are invited to explore several of them.
One slight drawback: due to their nature, there is no continuity. Walkers will therefore have to accept walking some distances on tarmac roads.
Around Clairefougère
The route passes along both sides of the Diane valley and offers a view of the canton of Tinchebray from Sainte-Radegonde Chapel.
Along the Airon from Landivy
With one foot in Normandy and one in Brittany, this trail offers some truly stunning views. After taking in the panoramic scenery, you’ll wind your way through the shaded paths along the Futaie Valley.
Route “Au fil du Temps” in Niort-la-Fontaine and Lassay-les-Châteaux
A walk through the ages, surrounded by nature. You’ll discover reproductions of Impressionist works by Ludovic Piette and Camille Pissarro, as well as megaliths including the Menhir de la Pierre Robert and a dolmen. Finally, the beautiful Bignon manor house and its hamlet.
Short Roullotin walk via the mill
A short walk of about 4km through the village of Roullours and its mill.
The Lac de Haute-Mayenne and the Saint-Fraimbault-des-Prières dam
The Lac de Haute Mayenne, artificially created by the Saint-Fraimbault dam, will charm you with its rich and varied flora and fauna. But this route will also allow you to discover the confluence of two rivers that feed into the Mayenne: the Varenne and the Colmont.
Between town and country in Bagnoles-de-l'Orne
A beautiful walk that runs alongside the Village du Cheval and then enters the forest via a path offering beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. It then crosses the Saint-Ortaire priory and returns to the centre of Bagnoles-de-l'Orne, passing by the lake and the casino on the way back to the car park.
Stream Trail in Lassay-les-Châteaux
This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful walks in the Lassay-les-Châteaux area. Lots of sunken paths, some woodland and a stream.
Tour of the Castles of Lassay-les-Châteaux
In the northern Mayenne countryside, Lassay-les-Châteaux is a small town that is well worth a visit. As you walk along the surrounding paths, a few signposts invite you to follow in the footsteps of Lancelot through meadows, forests and the remains of three castles. An easy walk on well-maintained paths and a few country roads.
The Morinais route
Several quarries dot this route. Whether they are still in operation, such as the Morinais quarry, or partly overgrown with vegetation, they all seem to still echo with the hammering sounds of decades past.
The granite quarried here was used for roadworks, by funeral firms, and also in local architecture. The mysterious beauty of the Morinaye manor house and the typical rural houses in the villages you will pass through bear witness to this.
The Pouillé Copse in Larchamp
Unnoticeable to the hiker, this route has a unique feature: the waters encountered in the south feed into the Atlantic basin, whilst those in the north flow towards the English Channel.
It does, however, offer the chance to explore a site where woodworking was, for several centuries, the primary industry.
Meeting the Fairies of the Baligot Rocks
The Fairies of the Baligot Rocks still have their legend, which has never ceased to be popular in Proussy. They lived in the Fairy’s Hole, on the side of a high rocky escarpment that rises at the edge of the Druance, on the road from Condé to Pontécoulant.
The Chemin du Roy in Pont-d'Ouilly
From the banks of the cool Val la Hère stream, you will climb to the heights of Plainville and Bourg d'Ouilly, where the view is remarkable.
Circular des Rochers des Parcs
This is a fairly easy hike, with beautiful panoramic views of the Orne and the surrounding countryside throughout. An iconic site in Suisse Normande, the Rochers des Parcs are also a mecca for rock climbing.
