The Serre Chevalier valley is set to vibrate to the rhythm of the Serre Chevalier Snow Trail on 18 and 19 January. For this 8th edition, a record 600 runners are expected to take to the snowy trails of La Salle-les-Alpes.
The Serre Chevalier Snow Trail is all about diversity and accessibility. On Sunday 19 January, all participants will set off from La Salle-les-Alpes at 9am, before choosing their adventure:
- Short course (10km) 600m of ascent. An ideal loop for short-distance enthusiasts, passing through Puy de la Salle and Les Thures before descending.
- Grand Parcours (20km) 1000m ascent. A climb up to the hamlet of Les Tronchets at an altitude of 1900m, reserved for the most hardy.
On Saturday 18 January, the event kicks off with a night-time run of 8km and 300m of ascent. This unusual format, which starts at 6pm, offers a magical experience: running under the glow of headlamps and illuminated villages.
The organisers make it a point of honour to create a friendly atmosphere, which is much appreciated by the participants. The post-race meal, entirely home-cooked and organic, brings runners and spectators together to share a moment of conviviality.
