Hiking in the Somme

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!

The Somme department is a fantastic playground affording a multitude of ways to get back to nature. You can explore its valleys: firstly the Somme valley but also those of the Authie, Bresle, Avre, Nièvre, Ancre, Selle, Airaines, Omignon and Liger with just as many hiking trails/footpaths on either side.

There are also long distance footpaths (GRs) for longer hikes lasting days (or weeks). You can also try shorter trails observing the plants and wildlife of natural sites in the Somme.
