Check out 👉🏻 here for all our trail routes in Haute-Vienne, for nature-lovers looking for new challenges! 🏞️🔥

1. Base Uni'Vert Trail des Monts d'Ambazac - The rickety stone trail

The path of the shaky stone

A trail for experienced runners! 🏃‍♀️

After passing in front of the prisoners’ cross, head for the undergrowth and forest track to the charming village of Traspont. The technical descent takes you down to Noueix, before testing your footing on a gravel path. 🪨

Get your legs ready for a dry 2km climb to the mythical Pierre Branlante, a rocky chaos offering breathtaking views over more than 50km 🤩.

The way back? More leisurely, between wide forest paths 🌳 and passing under the giant springboards of the Singletraks Bike Park 🚵‍♂️…

2. Uni'Vert Trail n°5

Saint-Auvent

With its 32km of pure challenge, this route is reserved for seasoned trail runners. 💪

Get ready to switch between two unique atmospheres: the “Au fil de l’eau” route 💦 and that of the legendary “Via Agrippa” 🏛️.

A demanding, varied and intense route, designed for those who like to push their limits. 💥

3. Parcours des Pérusse n°2

Les Cars

An ideal circuit for amateur runners who want to experience the joys of trail running ✨.

After climbing up and round La Moute ⛰️, head for the splendid Château des Pérusse at Les Cars 🏰.

The loop finishes gently around the ponds, with perhaps the chance to spot a few deer in the wild 🦌…

A route that’s both sporty and magical! 🌟

4. Base Uni'Vert Trail des Monts d'Ambazac - The dolmen trail

Ambazac

A more demanding route, perfect for those who already have a bit of trail experience 💪.

After a fairly flat start with a few false flats 👟, the loop takes you as far as the Lieue dolmen before plunging into the forest. 🌲

The route then opens out onto the landscapes of Puy Bertrand, before a technical return on very old paths where vigilance and foot placement will make all the difference 😉

A trail rich in sensations, between heritage and preserved nature 🌿✨.

5. Uni'Vert Trail n°10

Saint-Mathieu

A 13km loop that’s ideal for a fast-paced workout and a trip back in time ⏳.

Along the way, let yourself be seduced by the old mills on the banks of the Tardoire, then tread an ancient Gallo-Roman road 🏛️.

Between Saint-Mathieu and Saint-Bazile, this trail combines effort and discovery, with the added bonus of a perfect warm-up around the lake 💧.

A concentrate of sport and history in an unspoilt natural setting 🌿✨.
