Trails wind through dense forests, green fields and along crystal-clear streams. Here, off-road running takes on its full meaning: every step you take on these natural paths not only improves your physical condition, but also allows you to appreciate the wild beauty that surrounds you.

Routes to suit everyone

For those just starting out in the world of trailrunning, we recommend the blue circuit, which is around 5 km long and winds mainly through woods, with a few open sections where running becomes even more enjoyable in the sunshine. For intermediate or advanced runners looking for more challenge and variety in their outings, opt for the red route (approx. 12 km) offering technical climbs as well as fast descents over rocky terrain - perfect for testing your limits! Professionals won't be left out; they can test their mettle on the black circuit, which reaches almost 20 km with its impressive vertical drops and demanding passages!

Varied terrain

The charm of trail running also lies in its diversity: here, you can alternate between different types of surfaces during your runs. You'll trot across flowery meadows before entering the soothing coolness of a dense forest, where the resinous scent immediately evokes the feeling of escape. Let yourself be carried away by the gentle sound of the wind among the trees as you run through the forest, then quickly rediscover the invigorating sensation when your feet touch firm ground in the middle of the fields as you quickly transition to a beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding valley during your next outing. The regular presence of exposed roots makes some sections particularly interesting, requiring concentration and agility - a real pleasure for those who like a challenge!
