Two levels are available to suit everyone’s abilities and goals. The easy route is designed to get everyone moving again. It involves walking to Rochegude Park, going round it, then returning to the starting point, the footbridge. The intermediate route extends the walk towards Pratgraussals Park, allowing you to gradually increase the duration and distance. These routes allow you to reap the initial health benefits, even with a limited amount of walking, provided you walk regularly and at a moderate intensity (between 4,000 and 7,000 steps a day).
