Hiking holidays around Mont-Saint-Michel: 6 routes to try

Walks for all levels

Panoramas, heritage and nature

From Les Cognets, you can access footpaths offering superb views of the bay, hedgerow paths and heritage stops. Alternate between short circuits with children and longer routes for experienced walkers. To prepare for your outings, consult «Activities at Mont-Saint-Michel to do with the family» and «When to visit the Mont: tides and crowds». After your walk, enjoy the comfort of a mobile home or the conviviality of your pitch.

Safety and respect for the environment

Find out about tide times and restricted areas. Equip yourself according to the weather: windbreaker, water, sun protection. Stick to marked trails and keep your distance from wildlife.
