trail
Between steep singletrack climbs and shaded woodland stretches, this technical route hauls you to the summit of Le Ruth—the highest point, where Haute Provence reveals itself in a full 360° panorama. The effort continues with a dizzying, slippery descent, perfect for testing your mountain agility. As you cross the ridges toward La Colette, every stride through this rugged landscape forges your endurance. However, watch out for the sneaky final climbs near the end of the route, which will put your legs to the ultimate test before your return to the village. This is more than just a race; it’s an authentic, athletic immersion into the wild terrain of Haute Provence.
