The FFRandonnée Vendée
All our trails, from 3 to 20 km, are labeled by the French Hiking Federation. This label imposes qualitative criteria on our trails such as:
- Landscape and heritage interests,
- A maximum of natural coating (40% tar maximum).
- A quality concerning the maintenance and the beaconing.
The FFRandonnée Vendée is the relay for the projects of the French Federation of Hiking and the interlocutor of the departmental authorities.
Its missions revolve around 3 main axes:
- Develop hiking in the Vendée, including in its sporting practice
- Contribute to safeguarding the environment and paths
- Promoting green tourism and leisure
