If you're an outdoor enthusiast looking for a thrill, discover trail running in the heart of the Baronnies massif in the Drôme Provençale, a land of outdoor activities (climbing, paragliding, mountain biking, cycling, gravel, canyoning, trail running...).
There are 21 routes, ranging from 4 to 42 kilometres, to suit all tastes. Take advantage of the 3 time challenges to measure yourself on 3 verticals in Nyons, Rémuzat and Buis-les-Baronnies. Or come and train on the 2 special workshops in the Val d'Eygues!
These are classic trailrunning routes, loops or crossing, alternating climbs and descents on paths, with varying degrees of technical difficulty and regular changes of pace. They can be short, medium or long distance, with more or less elevation gain. A trailrunning route can also be run in an urban environment if the locations and types of route are varied enough (staircases, alleyways, green spaces, etc.) to make it fun and fast-paced.
The routes are classified into 4 difficulty categories, according to a national grading scale (AFNOR agreement):
These are trail courses timed using Bluetooth beacons that interact with your smartphone. You'll be able to compare yourself with the best times you've set on these routes.
How can you take part?
The workshops are ideal for specific training exercises. The vertical routes are made up of a single rise.
The Espace Trail des Baronnies in Drôme Provençale offers 3 verticals for hill work: the climb to Garde Grosse in Nyons, the climb to Les Aiguilles in Rémuzat and the climb to Ubrieux from Buis-les-Baronnies.
The club courir à Nyons has also designed two circuits especially for you:
