Overview

The Crique Morthium Fitness Trail, located in Matoury, is a versatile outdoor space that combines physical activity and relaxation in a natural setting. Managed by the commune of Matoury, the site offers two distinct circuits: a main loop of 1,320 metres for a more sustained workout, and a shorter loop of 460 metres, more accessible to beginners and families. Both circuits are equipped with fitness stations such as pull-up bars, abdominal benches, and stretching areas.

Why Visit

Beyond the sport, the trail is a place to slow down: the rest areas offer benches where visitors can enjoy the tranquility, and the site — surrounded by green spaces and crossed by a creek — has a peaceful atmosphere. Note, however, that swimming in the creek is not permitted. For families, a children's playground is available nearby, allowing parents to relax while the little ones play. The site thus combines sport, rest, and family leisure.
