  • Tips
    Warning: This trail is currently being upgraded! Extensive cleanup and trail marking work is underway, particularly along the Clot des Martres ridge and on the descent to Collet Pointu.


    WARNING: On this trail, you may encounter livestock guard dogs tasked with protecting herds from wolf attacks.

    To minimize the risk of conflict, bringing pets is strongly discouraged, even if they are on a leash.

    Cyclists, please be especially vigilant: upon seeing a herd, you must get off your bike, stop, and allow the dogs to assess you. Then, give the herd a wide berth, keeping your bike between you and the guard dog.

    In any case, stay calm, avoid sudden movements, and do not attempt to cross through the herd.
