The trail begins at the La Ferme Reservoir wall and proceeds along the dam bank and vegetable gardens for 3km before climbing slowly at frst then more rapidly, up the Corps de Garde mountain, giving wonderful views of all Mauritius, until arriving at the summit. Then, the path plunges rapidly down over hyper-technical paths, not for the faint-hearted!, back down to the La Ferme lake, going along the emuddy edge and then climbing the pass between the Corps de Garde mountain and the Montagne St-Pierre through forest, then passing 4km oaver flat canefields, time to recover, then down the pass again, round the base of the St-Pierre mountain, then up to its summit at 550m, down through technical paths and round the base, through the Bambous village and back to the starting point.
