The SPL Terres de Limousin is setting up a charter for the qualification of accommodations welcoming hikers, horseback riders, mountain bikers and cyclists. This qualification applies to overnight and holiday accommodation that complies with the specifications provided by Terres de Limousin.
The establishments can be stopover gîtes, bed and breakfasts, small rural hotels, tourist residences, group gîtes, vacation villages or any other type of accommodation that welcomes hikers for a stopover.
They should preferably be located on a hiking route (Sentiers itinérants du département, Sentiers de Grande Randonnée GR, Sentiers de Grande Randonnée de Pays GRP, bridle paths, mountain bike circuits, etc.) or nearby (around two kilometers). They may also be close to a cycle route such as a véloroute, voie verte or cycle tourism loop.
B&Bs or vacation villages offering star circuits from their accommodation can join the charter, provided they are located in areas that are predominant in terms of hiking: Monts d’Ambazac, Monts de Blond, Chemin de Traverse autour du Lac de Saint-Pardoux, Chemin de Saint-Jacques de Compostelle, Plateau de Millevaches, PNR Périgord-limousin, etc.).
They must also be affiliated with a national accommodation label (Gîtes de France, Clévacances, Bienvenue à la Ferme, Accueil Paysan, Rando Accueil, classified hotel…) or a departmental recognition.
Finally, they must be able to accommodate at least 6 people. In the case of group accommodation, at least two places must be left free for hikers.
Free application. Duration 3 years.
