Roam along the waters of the Béal Neuf canal!

Very easy
  • Tips
    Access to the canal is prohibited for herds or flocks of animals and all vehicles (motorised or otherwise).
    There is an alternative section following the Béal Neuf canal: "Du torrent au canal" (from the mountain stream to the canal). It starts 1 kilometre above the starting point of this last path, near a picnic table-nique.
    Check weather conditions before setting off.
