L'Oustal Crémat - Trail n°7

Description

A short but complete loop: a pretty path along a brook, a charming hamlet, a handsome track in the forest… An ideal introduction to the joys of trail running and the bucolic outdoors. Signposts will guide you all along this route: follow the waymarks for trail #7. You leave the village on a rather steep path but don’t worry: the slope will soon become gentler! The path climbs slowly, first above and then below the D 41 road (you will quickly forget that the road is nearby, given how few cars use it). You run along the Rieu Frech brook, through magnificent green meadows with pretty flowers. A little bit of paradise! A short stony climb leads you to the hamlet of L'Oustal Crémat. You then take a handsome track that goes down slowly through the forest all the way to Bagnols-les-Bains.
