Bringing a donkey along on a hike in the mountains is a great solution for families with small children who are too big to carry but not old enough to walk very far. The farms listed below not only hire donkeys but also organise multi-day circuits with accommodations in gîtes or refuges as well as camping on farms or in the wild.

PANORAM'ANE in Aleu
Donkey hire by the day; walking circuits of 4 to 7 days or weekends in the high Couserans

BALAD'ANE in Le Port
Donkey hire by the day; circuits of 2 to 8 days in the green valleys of Massat

When you rent the gîte La Fonta (sleeps 4-6) high in the Ustou valley a donkey is included in the rental for transporting your provisions as the house is a 30 minute walk from the nearest road.
