In the heart of wild Brittany

With the arrival of spring, the Monts d'Arrée are adorned with shimmering colours and offer magnificent views.

If you are passing through Brittany, this is the opportunity to discover the highest peak in the region during a walk, bike ride or horse ride.

Located in the heart of the Armorique Regional Natural Park, this emblematic massif reveals striking landscapes between wild moors, rocky ridges and breathtaking panoramas.

Discover a preserved territory that looks like the end of the world

The Monts d'Arrée are often compared to the mystical landscapes of Ireland or Scotland.

Indeed, here, nature reigns supreme between golden gorse, flowering heather and rocky ridges.

In spring, the mild Breton climate makes the walk even more pleasant, allowing you to fully enjoy the fauna and flora.

The Roc’h circuit will take you to Roc’h Trevezel (384m) and Roc’h Ruz (385m), the highest points in the region. The views of the Breton countryside are spectacular.
