Respirando is the label that promotes the quality of outdoor activities in Haute-Loire. A pioneer in this area, the department offers “100% wilderness areas” which abound in outdoor activities. Mountain biking, water sports, hiking, trail running, fishing, horse riding, or climbing...
3 Breathing Areas
Aires Respirando are recreational areas set around a lake or stream, ideal for day trips or weekend trips around outdoor activities.
In addition to playgrounds, picnic tables, beaches and supervised bathing areas, these various spaces are run by professionals (restaurants, accommodation, activity providers) who have chosen quality, warm welcome and an offer that respects the environment. In Haute-Loire, there are three of them:
- Breathing area of the Loire Gorges : “Aurec-beach on the banks of the wild Loire”
- Breathing area from Lavalette Lake : “220 hectares of leisure activities in Haute-Loire”
- Breathing area from Bouchet lake : “The blue eye of the Haute-Loire in its forest setting”
