Montcy Notre Dame Zig Zag Trail 2026

If you want a trail that makes you play with the terrain without overthinking it, the Montcy Notre Dame Zig Zag Trail is right on target. Here, in the Ardennes, you quickly go from “easy” to “oh, what a nice viewpoint,” and that’s exactly what we come for 🌲.

The name says it all: it turns, it pushes, it links up… in short, it zigzags with a smile. You run through the heart of a nature that smells wonderfully of forest, lively paths, and those little spots that make you want to lift your head for two seconds 🧭.

Two formats, two vibes: the 7 km to treat yourself and still have some juice left for after, or the 15 km to head out longer and come back with the feeling that you’ve truly “visited” the Ardennes by its trails. It’s up to you to choose your dose of happiness ⛰️.

Pop over to Charleville-Mézières nearby for a stroll around the Place Ducale, stop by the Arthur Rimbaud Museum if you’re in the mood for a culture break, and go breathe along the banks of the Meuse for a gentle recovery walk. If you still have legs (or kids to keep busy), the Mont Olympe is a great spot to get some fresh air and enjoy a lovely panorama without making life complicated 🍂.

You come to push yourself, you leave with your head full of images: here it’s nature trail running with a real taste of travel… and I promise, you’ll never see “zig zag” the same way again! ☕
