The trail, a nature activity

Logo Bretagne

From north to south and east to west, the Destination Quimperlé les rias has everything to enchant trail runners. The most daring of them meet up here every April for the famous - and oh so demanding - Bretagne Ultra Trail.

Following the storm Ciaran which hit on 1 and 2 November, many of the paths in Destination Quimperlé les rias have not yet been cleared. Every week, the Tourist Office compiles information on which paths are open to the public and which are not. For this information, please contact us on 02 98 39 67 28 or visit our information offices.

Undulating trail routes

 

You don't need mountains for trail running! Distances don't necessarily count for trail running; it's the variation in soil and terrain that makes for good routes. It's not just about running either, as the route sometimes requires you to alternate with walking, depending on the gradient or type of terrain.

For training, while the coastal paths are all the rage, there are many other equally pleasant routes to discover inland, particularly along the River Ellé. Sheltered from the sea spray and away from the hustle and bustle of the coastline, its undulating course offers a playground perfectly suited to trail running, with gradients ranging from the most pleasant to the most technical!

 

The trail and nature

 

Beyond the difficulty of the routes, discovering Destination Quimperlé les rias means enjoying nature and the freedom that trail running provides. Unlike road running, trail running adapts to the environment. You cover more ground than you would on foot, which is also a great way to discover the region in greater depth.

Respect for nature is at the heart of this sport, and is a given for all trail runners. Away from tarmac and urban spaces, trail running offers an escape and a connection with nature in magnificent landscapes. In our urbanised civilisations, trail running is also a way of raising awareness of the need to preserve our environment.
