Hikes and goats: the perfect combination

Are you seeking an unique experience? Why not join us for a nature walk? We offer a range of guided walks that are sure to bring you joy and excitement! Walking alongside our playful and sometimes stubborn herd of goats is a fantastic experience. Our goat walks are available throughout the year, and you are welcome to bring your (well-behaved) dogs along. Take a look at the options below and get in touch with us. We would be happy to hike together!

Get in touch

A half day with 2 goats

Half day with 2 goats (unguided)

Well-behaved dogs are welcome to accompany you, as our goats are fully socialized with them. During the walk, you'll head towards the Sentier Imaginair, an area the goats are familiar with. They are trained to walk on a leash, allowing you to enjoy a pleasant picnic together or even visit the café in the village while in their company.

Exchange: €25 for 1-2 persons with 2 goats, and €50 for 3-6 persons with 3 goats.

Guided herd walk 1-2 hours on Sunday

Every Sunday, we organize a walk with our seven goats and pony, Jo. We lead them towards the Sentier Imaginair. While on the farm and public roads, all the animals are on a leash for safety. However, once we reach the dirt track, only Jo remains attached while the rest of the goats walk freely. Goats are naturally inclined to stay together as a group, so there's no need to worry about them wandering off during the walk.

Exchange: €10 per person

Overnight Trip at the creek

Overnight camp Trip (unguided)

This unguided walk involves two goats accompanying you. You'll take them on a walk towards Batut along the GR465 trail. As you reach the bend, you'll enter the forest and proceed towards a small basecamp nestled within the woods. You have the option to spend the night there. The following day, you can continue your walk towards Glâ.

Exchange: € 75 for 1-4 persons

Coaching walk

Hiking and inspirational talks make a winning combination for personal inspiration. Walking in nature clears the mind, sparks creativity, and opens up new perspectives. Engaging in meaningful conversations during the hike deepens connections and stimulates fresh ideas. This dynamic duo of walking and talking fuels inspiration, fostering personal growth and a sense of purpose. You'll be accompanied by our experienced coaches Melissa & Marjolein.

Exchange: € 50 per person per hour

That was the first time I walked with the goats in my life and surprisingly, it was a lot of fun! I always enjoy walking in the mountains but this time, having a bunch of animals accompanying me added a feeling of novelty. I was in charge of walking the pony, which wasn't an easy task as he had his own ideas about where to go :) Beautiful sights in this area are good enough in themselves, I think, but if you get bored from walking, I recommend you joining Marjolaine and Mike on their walk with the goats, you'll always have something happening around you and hopefully will learn a thing or two!
