    ATTENTION! DUE TO FORESTRY WORK, THIS TRAIL IS CLOSED UNTIL THE END OF MARCH 2026! The first 4 kilometers are on relatively easy, rolling tracks with little elevation gain. Ideal for warming up! But beware! The next 800 meters present a real challenge in the form of a very steep climb with 120 meters of elevation gain! The slope becomes a little gentler for the following 6 kilometers. You can catch your breath on about a kilometer of short downhill before tackling another climb (gentler than the previous two) of approximately 2.7 km. The remaining 8 kilometers are downhill, passing by the Saint-Privat Hermitage (one of the historically emblematic sites of the city of Mende) with a beautiful panoramic view of Mende and the Lot Valley. The hardest part is behind you, but be careful on the descent, which is a bit technical... Road access : The start of the circuit is located in the parking lot of the Jean-Jacques Delmas sports complex, in front of the intercommunal swimming pool (Route du Chapitre).
