Trail d'Aqui - Demi-kilomètre vertical GABRIAC LASSOUTS SAINT-CÔME-D'OLT
3.9 km - D+ 460m - *** - 5 % Route - 30 % Chemin large - 65 % Monotrace - 100 % Bonheur.
From the bridge parking lot, take the route de Lassouts for 200m. Turn right at the sawmill, and off you go!
You soon realize that this is no laughing matter. The basalt stones typical of Aubrac are polished by the footprints of walkers and runners?
After 2 km, you reach the road to Roquelaure. A few metres of respite in the village. You go straight on, but the final part, the water tower, is waiting for you - it won't budge!
Incredible views over the Lot valley will certainly give you some relief, making you hesitate between taking an apologetic photo break or sticking it out all the way to your goal!
Here you are! Move on a few meters to the viewpoint over St Côme and Espalion.
We then offer you an attractive alternative way back (if you're in uphill-downhill mode to prepare for a D+ objective, go back down the same way).
Almost 2km of wide paths take you to Fraysse, on the heights. From here, it's all downhill!
Monotrace in the forest, rocky chaos on the right, on the left, you won't know where to turn!
Km 3, a short breather on the road to the aptly named Montplaisir. 500m of uphill slope and you're back on the GR 65, facing the walkers. Mind you, in summer, they'll be outnumbered!
It's beautiful, it's very clean, this section is a delight for downhillers!
At the bottom, you come to the voie verte between St Come and Espalion.
Only 1.4km to go, and it's a peaceful ride along the Lot.
At last, you reach the St Come bridge and the parking lot.
