Maira Occitan Trail 2025

If you're feeling down about the back-to-school 🍂, we have good news for you! We'll meet you in Dronero, in the heart of Piedmont, in Italy 🇮🇹. Put on your shoes 👟 and get ready for the Maira Occitan Trail, a trail event featuring 2 different courses.

The weekend program includes a marathon distance, a 42 km trail. Hold on tight, as your thighs are going to burn 🔥 with 2,650 mD+ ahead of you. If you prefer shorter distances, come challenge yourself on the 19 km trail with its 1,300 mD+ 🤯. The Meja Occitantrail and the Viol Occitantrail each form a loop 🔁 and will take you through the valleys of Maira, Unerzio, and Marmora. This is an opportunity to discover the province of Coni with fresh eyes 👀. Nature 🍃, forest 🌲, and even city 🏙️ converge to give you an unforgettable experience! 🫢

As they say, after effort comes comfort! 😋 Enjoy your time in Italy 🤌 to savor local specialties. Piedmont is famous for its risottos, particularly the risotto al barolo, made with Barolo red wine 🍷, and the truffle risotto. If you're not a rice fan, we recommend trying agnolotti, which are stuffed pasta often filled with meat, vegetables, or cheese, served with a butter and sage sauce 🌿. While you're in the area, take the opportunity to explore the treasures of the region. You could visit the picturesque city of Cuneo, known for its arcades and local markets 🧺. If you're here with family, why not visit Lake Ceresole, ideal for picnicking and relaxing by the water's edge? 🚣‍♂️

So, ready to take on the challenge and live a unique adventure? We await you at the start of the Maira Occitan Trail! 🌟
