La Ferme Trail 2025

The trail route changes slightly every year, depending on the lake level and vegetation on the mountains.  This year the route:

1. at the start, it continues around the lake on the well-worn path, not cutting across the lake edge
2. the route does NOT climb up the base of Corps de Garde mountain, as the vegetation is impenetrable
3. on the top plateau at Pierrefonds, there is an added flat  1km circuit which compensates for the lost Corps de Garde climb
4. at mid-trail, near the bottom of the CEB pipe, you will climb OVER the pipe, do NOT run under it
5. the lake littoral path goes through the wooded area for 1km, not along the usual 4x4 track

An easy trail, with one short climb and descent, otherwise flat around lake.  Some technical sections down the mountain. Discover an great trail area mostly hidden from public view.

Every year the route changes slightly, because of the lake level and the state of the vegetation and canefields. Note the following:

1. At the start, the route continues on the well-used path, not cutting across the lake edge
2. After 3km there is a circuit along the road after the market gardens / cattle enclosures, NOT up the base of the Corps de Garde mountain - this repeats after descending the Corps de Garde by going back to cattle enclosures the joining the 11k
3. At around 15km, near the bottom of the CEB water-pipe, go OVER the pipe, not under it
4. Follow carefully the stickers, after descending St Pierre Mountain, to make sure you follow the marked route, as there is dense vegetation here
5. Through Bambous village, follow the paint marks

A deceptively tough trail up two small mountains - Corps de Garde and St Pierre, over some rocky terrain with three flat stretches around the lake La Ferme and around Pierrefonds canefields.
