There will be 600 of them heading out into the snow, with their headlamps screwed on and their eyes fixed on the peaks. On 17 and 18 January, Serre Chevalier<\/a> is hosting the 9\u1d49 edition of the Serre Che Snow Trail, which over the years has become one of the major winter events for trail running in the mountains. A 100 % nature race, fully booked several weeks in advance, which confirms the roots of the Brian\u00e7onnais as the historic land of the white trail.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story here is not new. In 2001, Serre Chevalier saw the birth of one of the very first winter trails in France, organised at Mon\u00eatier-les-Bains under the name of Trail Blanc. Twenty-five years later, the spirit is still intact, but the event has grown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organised by the Trail Running Attitude association, the Serre Che Snow Trail brings together runners from all over France to tackle the mountains at their most rugged in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two wild courses, far from the slopes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The heart of the event takes place on Sunday 18 January, with two routes deliberately set away from the ski area. Starting from La Salle-les-Alpes, the riders quickly switch to the opposite side of the slope, in the heart of the countryside. A gradual climb takes them to the hamlet of Les Tronchets, at an altitude of 1,900 metres, before the decisive junction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
