Preparing your accrobranche outing in Pornic: what you need to know

It's a good idea to leave your backpack behind during the activity; a small zipped pocket or fanny pack is all you need to keep your essentials.

Remember to carry a reusable water bottle, especially in summer, and to use environmentally-friendly sun cream. Thin gloves can also improve comfort, especially on more technical routes.

Reservations are highly recommended, especially during vacations and weekends. Mornings and late afternoons are the best times to avoid peak periods. Before you leave, it's a good idea to take a quick look at the weather forecast and the park's website, in case of temporary closures (strong winds, thunderstorms, etc.).

If you're staying with a family, check the conditions for supervising younger guests. Finally, if you're staying at our open-air hotel in Pornic, it's a good idea to use soft means of transport like walking or cycling: it's more pleasant, and better for the planet.
