The Olivettes 2027

If you’re up for an outing that smells like Provence and woodland, Les olivettes in Les Mées is exactly the right plan 🌿.

On the menu: a 9 km format that quickly gets you in the mood, between nature and forest, with that perfect mix of shaded sections and views that remind you you’re in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence 🏞️.

Here, you’re not coming “just to run”: you’re coming for a little trip close to home, with a route that makes you want to push when it’s playful… and lift your head when it’s beautiful. And yes, you’re going to see all kinds of “olivettes” 😉.

After you cross the finish line, stick around: go take a look at the Pénitents des Mées, those incredible rocks towering over the village—perfect for a calm stroll and photos that really pop 📸.

If you want to extend things in relax mode, swing by Sisteron and its citadel, or head to Digne-les-Bains for a soothing break; and if you’re more into “cool water,” Lac des Buissonnades is a simple, nearby option to catch your breath with family or as a duo 🧭.
