La Foulée du château

10 km / 430m D+ (climb)

Sunday 27 July 2025

Sports trail

Around the villages

This young race format, which is open to riders in the Cadet category and was introduced to the Vars Mountain Trail programme last year, starts at Vars Sainte-Marie and climbs straight up to the village of Saint-Marcellin. It’s a short but steep climb before returning to Sainte-Catherine via a magnificent balcony single with a breathtaking view of the Eyssina, Vars’ iconic mountain. The loop finishes with a descent to the Pont de la Salce and its waterfalls before arriving at the village of Sainte-Marie. Ready to take up the challenge?

La foulée du château is part of the 3 format challenge
