This run circles around Mont de l’Arpille, giving you a panoramic view of the surrounding peaks. Despite being so close to the road, it is a very peaceful route, and you’re unlikely to see other people. The far side of Mont de l’Arpille feels wild and remote. The first trails are steep and rough, but they eventually ease off and become grassy on the southern slopes.

Bonus KMs and Bailouts

The bonus kilometers offer big rewards, so try to include them if you have time!
Note that not every run has a bailout. But if a run does, we’ve included the download below.
