The first section is very easy to run, on a forest track, ideal for enjoying the panoramic views.
The second section is on paths with a few more uphill portions, leading to Pic Cassini (1,680 metres) and then back down to Le Mas de la Barque – a magnificent section! 
Then another easy-to-run portion on tracks, through beautiful hamlets that are typical for the massif.
After L'Hôpital, the last climb of the circuit, on paths (200m of elevation gain).
Then a few kilometres on the flat – on the former railway – to finish.
