Pack Donkey and Goats Hiking in Luvigny, Vosges

Looking for a family-friendly activity in the Vosges? This hike with pack donkeys and goats in Luvigny offers a genuine immersion in nature while introducing you to the traditional techniques of pack loading, a practice that allows animals such as donkeys or horses to carry equipment on hikes. Set in the heart of the Donon Massif, close to remarkable natural sites such as Lake Maix, the Hazelle Dolmen and the Hauts-Champs Rock, the eco-responsible association La Forêt ân’imée warmly welcomes you.

On arrival in Luvigny, you meet your guide, a regional specialist qualified in equestrian tourism. She introduces you to the animals (donkeys and pack goats), giving you time to approach and stroke them before helping you get them ready. Your guide explains how pack animals are used, shows you the basic handling techniques and advises you on suitable routes to follow. Since the goats are all castrated, they are docile, calm, and guaranteed odor-free!

You then set off independently on your walk with the pack donkeys – and possibly a few goats, depending on your preferences and group size. Along a short route of around 2 km, you stroll above the village of Luvigny, along the forest edge. Children especially love this activity, which gives them the chance to enjoy close contact with the animals while burning off some energy in the great outdoors.

Fun, accessible and original, this pack donkey hike in Luvigny is not to be missed if you are planning a family stay in the Vosges. Book now and enjoy a peaceful, unspoilt setting far from mass tourism!
