Round trip ‘Erika’ from La Norma Chalet

In the middle of our working week in La-Norma-Chalet (both of us can work from home and therefore also at other locations, as long as there is good wifi, which is EXCELLENT here via a fibre-optic connection), we planned a slightly longer lunch walk: the Erika circular walk. This is a nice not-too-long walk that is very suitable for families with children of all ages.

The start is easy to find: go to the entrance of the outdoor swimming pool in the forest. To the right of that entrance is a wide path that leads past the pool further into the forest. Follow the path and you will come to a large area with a nice viewpoint over the valley AND where there are lots of swings! Have fun, also suitable for parents! After this fun, a path along the swings goes up diagonally, follow it. Be careful with small children (scare effect): all along the route there are large steel images of the animals living in the La Norma forests. Keep following the path gently, sometimes a bit steeper, sometimes a bit narrower, but the path remains manageable everywhere. A bit further on you will come across wooden chairs where you can rest a bit, a bit further again a resting spot with benches and so on.
Always nice things to see and do. A wobble bridge (which you can also walk along) and a very large stretched net (25×25 metres!) in which you can lie, walk, roll etc. (see photo). (see photo) There is much more to see and do on this route, but we won’t give everything away now.

This hike an absolute must! End of the trail is in the last hairpin bend of the road up to la Norma (see last photo). You walk up in 2-3 minutes to the big central square there. Via the path at the Looping you can quickly return to La Norma Chalet or via the centre you can return to the car in the car park at the park. Walk Erika: – From La Norma Chalet: Walk to the centre and continue to the large car park down by the leisure park. Walk through the park to the outdoor swimming pool. – By car: Park car (free of charge) at the large car park down by the leisure park. Walk through the park to the outdoor pool.
