The best outdoor activities in Morbihan

Morbihan is a department in Brittany, situated in the northwest of France. It is named after the enclosed sea, the Morbihan (meaning "small sea" in Breton), that is the principal feature of the coastline.

The big forests in the north of the region, and especially in the moors of Lanvaux, offer multiple hinking and mountain biking trails with low height difference (around a 100ft) making them very accessible to all levels. You might want to go look for the local carnivorous plant (the drosera) that hides in the middle of the furze and heather or try to see the salamanders and other reptiles that roam around the undergrowth.

The Bay of Quiberon is one of the most beautiful in the world. Thanks to its fishings ports, oyster farms, its wilderness and its dunes, the various backdrops are a fantastic watersports environment. You will be able to choose the best spots from the 900 miles coast lines, whether you are looking for the waves to surf or the wind to go on a kitesurfing downwind excursion.

All in all, Morbihan is a territory of history with a strong celtics heritage, which you would have definitely guessed by yourself when stumbling upon the standing stones in the wild coast. It is a perfect mix between forests, cliffs and ocean... What better way to have it all but to go skydiving above this wild land ?
