The Pilat All-Nighter 2027

If you’re craving an adventure that breaks the mold, La Nuit Blanche du Pilat in Bessat serves up the perfect cocktail: forest, nighttime, and that unique vibe where headlamps draw a river of light between the fir trees 🌙.

Here, you come to treat yourself in a wild setting, high up in the Pilat, right in the heart of the Loire and Auvergne‑Rhône‑Alpes 🌲.

You pick your format based on what you’re feeling: the 9 km for a punchy, playful outing, or the 15 km to treat yourself to a real journey into the night, with that little “one more turn and I’ll discover what’s next” feeling 🔦.

And after the effort, stick around—it’s worth it: swing by the Col de la République for fresh air and viewpoints, stop in Saint‑Genest‑Malifaux for a stroll and a break, or head to Saint‑Étienne for a more urban end to the day (museums, cafés, restaurants) 🗺️.

If you’re coming as a duo or with family, save a morning for an easy walk on the trails of the Regional Natural Park of Pilat, just to take in the scenery again… this time without the night playing tricks on you—or almost.
