Take up the challenge of the Trail des 5 Cols, a demanding 24km, 1400m D+ race that’s back for its second year. Specially designed for trail enthusiasts in search of adventure and challenge, it starts from the Col de Vars, a symbolic point marking the halfway point of the marathon format where participants will be sharing the tracks of runners who set off a few hours earlier.
Race management will be essential on this format, most of which is run at an altitude of over 2000m. At the start of the route, prepare to tackle the longest climb of 670m, which will take you directly to the Tête de Paneyron. You then skirt around Lac de l’Etoile until you reach the Col de Serenne. The last part of the run takes you to the Col de la Coulette and the famous panorama of the Vars crests. A panoramic aerial view will reward you before you finish your route in the Pinée forest, just before reaching the village of Sainte-Marie.
