Trail des yrondelles
There are trails that roll out a red carpet. And there are those that remind you why you love running outdoors. The Trail des Yrondelles clearly falls into the second category. Playful singletrack, surges, descents, climbs that make you grimace, and varied landscapes: here, every kilometre has its own character. It's up to you to choose how far you want to push the adventure.
What you'll find on-site:
- Three formats of 11 km, 24 km and 40 km to find the distance that will make you thrill (or doubt, depending on the moment);
- Technical courses where singletrack, surges and elevation take centre stage;
- Refreshments at the finish line to recharge after the effort, with several aid stations on the longer formats.
Course focus:
The Trail des Yrondelles doesn't bet everything on a single difficulty. It prefers to mix things up. The Yrond'S opens hostilities with a fast start before heading towards the fortress of Buron. After a few more rolling sections, it's time for singletrack, a beautiful descent into the valley and then a climb back up where you'll need to have saved a little fuel.
The Yrond'M is the heart of the reactor. A technical course, reshaped but just as demanding as ever, which strings together ascending and descending singletrack. Good news: a more rolling kilometre finally gives you a chance to catch your breath... or push even harder on the accelerator.
And then there's the Yrond'L. Forty kilometres to cross a mosaic of landscapes between woodlands, granite terrain, volcanic sectors, dry meadows and deciduous forests. A complete route, designed for those who love it when a day of trail running feels like a real expedition.
