Téléchargement Trace GPX Enduro Montagne de Lure

Initially, the trail engulfed into an ocean of mineral sugar, then the white light of the summit ridges quickly gives way to partial darkness.

The trail then sneaks into valleys lined with dead leaves. Two short ramps allow you to switch to a long series of singles full of supports, raise and sharp turns between trees.

On the same sector, it is possible to follow with the mountain bike route 'L'Alpes Provence' to Forcalquier, via the emblematic rocks of Les Mourres.

In short, an invitation to pleasure!

Variant: it is possible to enhance the descent by a climb to the top of the ridges following the VTT circuit n°2 “Du Signal à Notre-Dame”, then find the Trace Enduro, then follow with the Grande Traverée VTT 'L'Alpes Provence' to Forcalquier, via the emblematic rocks of Dying. Must-have combination!

Caution: on the two steeper sections, often high after thunderstorms.

Attention: control its speed in descent well; you are not alone on these trails!

Important: during the summer period, from 15 June to 15 September access to the forest ranges of the Alpes de Haute-Provence is regulated, please contact the referring authorities.
