This GR<sup>®</sup> de Pays – Tour of the Suisse Normande, voted 'France's Favourite GR<sup>®</sup> 2023', offers a 113 km route which can be divided into six stages for stopovers in the towns of Thury-Harcourt (Le Hom), Clécy, Pont d'Ouilly, Saint Philbert sur Orne or Condé-en-Normandie.
Along this GR de Pays® – Tour of the Suisse Normande hiking route, you'll discover paths leading to breath-taking panoramic views: The Rochers de la Houle, the Pain de Sucre or the Roches d'Oêtre … It can be a bit of a climb at times, but you're sure to fall for the charm of this Normandy route.
Come venture along these hiking trails between Calvados and Orne to discover sometimes unexpected landscapes, with meanders, steep gorges and mountain reliefs – not forgetting the fauna and flora present along the way, like the otter or the pearl mussel, both protected species, or the salmon which might just end up on your plate for a well-deserved lunch-time break.
