Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold of hyperbolic type, i.e$M$ is a manifold admitting another metric of strictly negativecurvature. In this paper we study the geodesic flow restricted to theset of geodesics which are minimal on the universal covering. Inparticular for surfaces we show that the topological entropy of theminimal geodesics coincides with the volume entropy of $(M,g)$generalizing work of Freire and Mañé.
