Estéron challenge 2026

If you love it when nature puts stars in your eyes and a big smile on your face, the Estéron challenge in Aiglun is going to speak to you 🌲.

Here, in the Alpes-Maritimes, you come for mountains, forest, and that little taste of adventure “two turns from the Mediterranean” ⛰️.

Two formats, two moods: the 14 km to treat yourself without burning out, and the 50 km to live a real story from start to finish. You pick your challenge; I promise you the scenery: trails that smell of pine, viewpoints that make you slow down “just to take it in,” and playful terrain that makes you want to push on 🧭.

After the effort, stick around: head to Gilette and its hilltop village, get some fresh air in the Préalpes d’Azur Regional Natural Park, take a detour to Carros (the old village and its narrow streets), or push on to the Estéron gorges for a cool walk along the water 🏞️.

You’ll head home with lively legs, a head full of memories, and the feeling you traveled without ever leaving Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur.
