Cani-rando Le Mourtis

Cani-rando, a unique adventure in the heart of the Pyrenees

Imagine exploring the winding paths of the Pyrenees, accompanied by your faithful four-legged companion who shares your love of nature. Cani-rando, or hiking with a dog, is a great experience, combining complicity, pleasure and new discoveries. This type of activity is an invitation to explore the magnificent mountain landscapes of the Haut-Garonne Pyrenees in a different way, strengthening the bond between you and your dog.

Safety and vigilance: a priority
during your cani-rando

Although cani rando is an enjoyable activity, safety must always be a priority. With the presence of herds in the Pyrenean mountains, it is essential tobe vigilant and respectful of the environment. Keeping your dog on a lead is often recommended, if not compulsory, to avoid any unexpected interaction with local animals, particularly flocks of sheep. Sheep are often guarded by sheepdogs, whose role is to protect and guide the animals. So it’s vital to follow the instructions and make sure your companion doesn’t upset this delicate balance.

Our advice for
a successful cani-rando

To make the most of your cani-rando experience, there are a few precautions to take. Make sure your dog is sufficiently trained for a mountain hike. The trails can be demanding, and it’s important that your dog is in good health and used to long walks. Provide plenty of water for you and your dog, and take regular breaks to rest and enjoy the scenery.

It’s also a good idea to find out which routes are suitable for cani-hiking and check the weather conditions before setting off. For an even more enjoyable experience, some local outfitters offer equipment hire services, such as harnesses and shock-absorbing leads, to ensure that the hike is comfortable for both of you.
