Trail d'Aqui - Le Cayrol
11 km - D+ 300m - *** - 15 % road - 54 % wide path - 31 % monotrace - 100 % happiness! Run when you feel like it? Run with whoever you want? Let yourself be guided? Run in total freedom!
A magnificent start from the parking lot, with a monotrace that sets the mood! On the plateau, you catch your breath and begin the magnificent descent to the Agols stream.
Don't forget to tie up your dogs, as authorization has been granted for passage, but be careful to respect the area and the livestock, as the continuity of the route depends on it.
900m and 100 D+: this is the climb that awaits you after crossing the bridge. It's a tough one!
But the view from the summit is superb: the Aubrac is right in front of you!
Then come 3km of very rolling sections, allowing you to take a breather or, for the sturdiest, to unroll your stride! Km 6: here you are in the heart of the slate quarries! The whole story is told on a series of signs. The site is maintained by enthusiasts from the village of Anglars, who organize guided hikes all year round.
The descent is as beautiful as it is cool and technical, as you cross the Agols once again amidst the slate quarries. The view is breathtaking.
Then it's off for a 1km climb that starts out wild and technical, then becomes a wider, rising false flat until you reach Albaret.
1km to take a breather on the road, followed by a sublime descent opened up by local bikers a few years ago - a job well done!
One last bump after crossing the Belous and here we are!
