ラグランドフォスのおすすめランニングルート

La Fontenelle (hill 627) forms a remarkable “balcony” overlooking the Rabodeau and Hure valleys. This strategic location, initially held by the French, was captured by the Germans on 22 June 1915. After a perfectly coordinated attack, the French recaptured the site on 8 and 9 July 1915 and held it until the end of the war. La Fontenelle was also the scene of a short mine warfare.

Super nice view

At this viewpoint stands a steel observation capsule from the First World War. It's hard to believe that brutal trench warfare took place here in 1914/15. Today, the landscape offers a peaceful view of meadows and forests.

Uphill or downhill, you won't have to focus too much on your feet. This wide dirt road allows you to practice running ascents or rolling descents. You can even allow yourself to look up to appreciate the landscape.

A tough and technical climb, with slopes that can exceed 25% in some parts. When the forest thins out, the adrenaline takes over and sublimates the landscapes of the valley.

Le Climont is perfect for training, with its technical north face and rolling south face. Depending on what you want to work on, go up one and down the other. Either way, you'll be rewarded with the great views from its tower.
