Leading a donkey on a hike: 
Travelling with a donkey is a great way to hike as a family, at the animal's slow pace. It will be a fabulous companion for young and old alike. The donkey's role is to carry your luggage for the day. It can also take turns carrying your children under your responsibility if they get tired.
However, there are a few points to bear in mind:

  • children must be at least 4 years old to be able to hold on properly to the animal (maximum weight 25 kg)
  • The terrain must not be uneven,
  • the donkey's total weight must not exceed 40 kg (including 25 kg for the child).
