Hello, I’d like to suggest a route that I run during my stays in Martimpré. It takes me about an hour to run, and probably around 2 to 2½ hours to walk. For the more adventurous, this route passes close to the Tête de Nayemont; if you’re curious, you can enjoy a beautiful view from there, but be careful – the path is quite technical and the signposting is poor.
