Trail of Double Silver 2027

At the Trail of Double Silver, you come for the kilometers… and you leave with a treasure trove of sensations in the Minervois forests, starting from Caunes-Minervois in Aude 🌿.

Here, nature puts on the show: cool undergrowth, playful trails, the scents of garrigue, and that little Occitan relief that makes you feel like you’re winning your “coin” with every climb (promise, the double silver is mostly in the memories) ⛰️.

You choose your adventure depending on your mood of the day: 12 km to enjoy yourself without burning out, 21 km to treat yourself to a great run, 32 km for a real getaway, or 64 km if you want a full-scale day where the forest becomes your playground 🏃‍♂️.

My local guide’s tip: arrive a bit early, take the time to soak up the village atmosphere, and keep some in the tank for the finish, because the last kilometers here like to make you “pay cash” if you go out too fast! 😉

And after the effort, stick around to savor the area: take a detour to Caunes-Minervois Abbey and its history-laden stones, go see the red marble quarries that have carried the village’s name far and wide, then head to Minerve (one of the most beautiful villages in the area) for a walk above the gorges, or even to Carcassonne if you want a medieval slap less than an hour away 🏰.

If you’re coming as a couple or with family, it’s an easy win: a little stroll through the lanes of Caunes-Minervois, a terrace break, and a sunset over the Minervois landscapes to end the day gently… you’ll see, here, even recovery has charm 🍷…
