Marking signs to follow

To orient you during your run, routes of the Espace Trail du Massif Cantalien are equipped with trail directional markers. Each marker is printed with the number(s) of the itinerary(s) to be followed with their colour of difficulty (green - blue - red - black) or their particularity (orange = vertical; azure blue = snow-route).

The trail markers are placed in a regular way, at each directional change. Between two trail directional markers, follow the existing hiking markers.

In urban areas, trail-running markers can be adapted to meet the requirements of city marking signs. The markers are coloured brown.
