A short loop through typical Combrailles countryside. The route winds through undergrowth to the dam reservoir and offers a fine view of the Sioule gorges from Grand Motaillas.
Views of the village of Vitrac and the Sioule valley.
Étape 1 : From the start sign, head down Rue du Bourg and follow it, turning left. At the T-junction, turn right onto the road to La Pradelle.
At the entrance to the hamlet, fork left, then climb up to a crossroads (with a view of the village of Vitrac). Turn left, then quickly right (information panel on the Queuille meander) and head down a wide track through the forest. Ignore a track on the right and reach a large boulder on the right (from its summit – tricky climb – view of the Sioule valley). Continue downhill on the main path, ignoring the side paths until you come to a crossing under a high-voltage power line.
Étape 2 : At the fork, turn left up a path overlooking the Sioule. At the first abandoned house, turn left onto a road. Go left. On the third hairpin bend, at the crossroads, turn right through the first fence and then right again. Cross a stream and wind your way up towards Vitrac. Just after passing through the first group of houses in Vitrac, turn right onto a track leading to the car park.
From 01/01 to 31/12.
