If you're a trail runner, a hiker or even a nature trekker looking for a circuit with positive gradients, the 25 Moguls should be just what you're looking for. Located in the forest of Fontainebleau, in the heart of the Trois Pignons massif, at Noisy-sur-École (77), the course is the talk of Paris and the Île-de-France region.
When embarking on this ascent, we advise you to bein good physical condition, with well-muscled calves and a well-trained cardio system, as the 25 moguls circuit is no easy ride. As its name suggests, it comprises a total of twenty-five bumps, all located within the 3 Pignons massif. As you walk along its paths, you'll discover some of the treasures hidden in the heart of the Forêt de Fontainebleau, including the Cul-de-Chien sands, the Tortue rocks, the Souris rocks, the Éléphant perché rocks, the Bilboquet rocks...
In the past, this route was used by mountaineers to train before setting off into the high mountains. Nowadays, it's used by many amateur sportsmen and women, with a loop of around 16 km and over 800 metres of ascent. Allow between 5 and 7 hours, depending on your walking speed, to complete these legendary 25 moguls. Departure is from the Croix-Saint-Jérôme parking lot, after passing Arbonne-la-Forêt and heading towards Milly-la-Forêt.
If you want to get started, we advise you to save yourself (and your itinerary) by following the circuit in .gpx format (available here), or get hold of the IGN map of the Forêt de Fontainebleau.
