Visit Gougane Barra Forest Park

A forest full of walking trails!

The forest park is located near the village lake. Hikers will be able to stroll through the forest, admiring the beauty of its many tree species, including spruces, Japanese larches, Scots pines and a large number of local species!

It has to be said that the area is quiet, densely populated with birds, and ideal for communing with nature!

Marked trails of varying lengths are available at the entrance to the forest. Don’t forget your backpack if you use them!

Waterfalls, rivers and towering trees!
