Trails in the Rhône

The Rhône is a true playground for trail running: endless hills, paths with the scent of fresh earth, and breathtaking panoramas. You start gently, admiring the landscapes, and each climb rewards you with an incredible view. Even the small roots on the path become an opportunity to smile and stay focused. You pass through the vineyards of the Côte-Rôtie near Ampuis 🍇, the charming small villages where the locals greet you, and you realize that after each ascent, the satisfaction of continuing makes you forget the fatigue.

Races in the Rhône not to be missed!

And if you really want to challenge yourself, the Rhône is full of races where you can become a finisher! 💙 Start with the Trail des Pierres Dorées, with its incredible landscapes in Anse, or the Trail des Coteaux du Lyonnais, quite accessible and perfect for testing your limits ✨. For a more intense experience, be sure to mark the Trail en Côte-Rôtie in your calendar, where you can attempt a first experience on marathon distance (aka maratrail). Its 46 km are truly worth the journey, but don't worry, other distances are also available 💪. If you're looking for something closer to the City of Light 💡, there's the Trail des Coursières in the Monts du Lyonnais. Yes, this race welcomes you in Saint-Martin-en-Haut, in the Rhône, in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes ⛰️.
