Details
An emblematic trail of Mauritius.
All finishers of the Long Trail will have their performance registered with ITRA, giving them an international ranking.
The repaired Chamarel Road was opened in mid-February so it will be possible to travel between Chamarel & Plaine Champagne.
Please offer places in your vehicle to fellow trailers, so that we reduce the number of vehicles, and are eco-responsible.
PLEASE DO NOT PARK ON THE CORNER at the Parakeet Antenna - this is dangerous for traffic. There is lots of space along the straight part of the road. Thank you!
