We’re telling you right now: it’s going to sting on the climbs (and even on the descents)🌲.In reality, the Trail des petits sapins is almost a misleading title 😳. Sure, you’ll come across fir trees, and your calves will burn on the wooded trails laid out by the organization, but we can’t promise the trail will be that "small" 😬. You’ll need BIG motivation and a good dose of courage to take on this brand-new Jura adventure 💨. The event starts in <a href="kavval://cities/6c71a0ef-391b-4e73-b566-aa24ba2b8e1d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Moirans-en-Montagne</a>, in the <a href="kavval://level2AdminAreas/e9f8ef6b-ddef-421b-90bb-035a76e59411" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jura</a> and offers 2 <a href="kavval://pages/19c6236d-b5b7-431a-87ba-e50b74dcd383" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">trail</a> routes suited to two types of profiles: little "sapineau" and seasoned forest regulars 🧌. So whether you’re a true woodland hermit or a young forest shoot, let us tell you more about the routes on offer: ⬇️In <a href="kavval://pages/01801800-1703-4351-80fd-ad6fcbfe6a0f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">October</a>, draw a line under the monthly blues and daily rain ☔️. The small village of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moirans-en-Montagne" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Moirans-en-Montagne</a> has a <a href="kavval://tags/d816c360-2b86-461f-b854-a807cd9b94ba" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">festive</a> and friendly event in store for you 🎉. For the first edition held in 2026, you can choose between a <a href="kavval://pages/36cb519f-4d50-4a8f-823d-34dbe17cbd40" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">10 km</a> course or a 24 km course. However, we don’t recommend aiming for a PR on this race: there are still 330 mD+ and 820 mD+ to factor in. After all, the village lives up to its name—they didn’t lie about the elevation gain 😂. What isn’t mentioned, though, is the type of trail you’ll be running through: conifer undergrowth, lovely sunlit clearings, and real <a href="kavval://tags/e1d7f6d9-6a3f-4a71-821b-1b197592de44" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">fir forests</a> that might make you think you’ve swapped Moirans’ small forest for the vast <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irati_Forest" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Iraty Forest</a> 🦌. The postcard-like scenery will almost make you forget the clock ⏱️. But don’t forget you’re in a real competition—the level will be high, so no loafing around 😴.Once you’ve checked off the finisher goal, stay in the area and enjoy what the region has to offer 🎁. For the <a href="kavval://tags/1fc39264-8ba9-4528-aa43-b4d935b27bdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">kids</a> who weren’t allowed to set off on one of the day’s races, it’s time for fun: the <a href="https://www.musee-du-jouet.com/en/home" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Toy Museum</a> in Moirans-en-Montagne will let the whole family unwind 🧘. Activities, outdoor games and exhibitions—a real haven of <s>peace</s> fun is waiting for you. If you’d rather stay active and loosen up your legs gently, you can also treat yourself to a big breath of fresh air around <a href="https://www.jura-tourism.com/vivre-le-jura/visiter/les-incontournables/lac-de-vouglans/#" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lake Vouglans</a>, just a few kilometers away. Paddleboarding, canoeing, or pedal boating 🛶—you can work whichever muscle chain you like on the emerald-green water of the département’s largest <a href="kavval://tags/adb74dc5-29c3-4ea1-b3b4-06871d93f6a6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lake</a> ⛵️. For an exceptional <a href="kavval://tags/9aac2254-eb0d-4f02-a70e-ef56d14afd9d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">nature</a> touch, end the weekend at the <a href="https://www.cascades-du-herisson.fr" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hérisson Waterfalls</a>: one last "peak" of happiness 🥹.On your marks—ready for a forest outing? 🌳
