The Rambouillet forest is a true paradise for pedestrians: it does not include less than 50 kilometres of green slopes! What opportunities to spend in full nature!

This walk takes parents and children on a discovery tour of Rambouillet, with a quiz that develops their sense of observation and enriches their culture in a fun way. From the station, the tour leads to the château grounds. Then on to the national sheepfold and the Queen's Dairy. The walk continues in the park, via the Grotte des Amants, then the Chaumière aux Coquillages. A walk evoking the splendors of the past, between town and country.

To enhance its natural areas and raise public awareness of biodiversity in a fun way, the Department offers its trendy walks and puzzle circuits. This discovery trail in the Rochefort departmental forest, which takes about 1h30, is self-guided and is based on a game book that can be downloaded from the Balade branchée smartphone application, available on iOS and Android, to be completed during the walk. Discover the local medieval legend of the 4 dragons by crossing educational desks or activity totems.

The club offers caving and canyoning, two outdoor sports practised in specific environments. Caving involves exploring underground cavities by traversing rugged galleries, climbing, descending and ascending shafts, and crossing narrow passages. Canyoning, on the other hand, involves descending rivers over obstacles such as waterfalls, basins and sub-vertical sections. These activities require physical effort and safe progression techniques. The club offers outings and training courses, and prices include insurance, federal license and management fees.
