Looking for a race that smells of mountains and nature, no frills but plenty of character? The Trail des Balcons Sud de Chartreuse in Quaix-en-Chartreuse ticks all those boxes—and throws in a big-screen setting in Isère, in the heart of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes 🏔️.
Here, you come to treat yourself on trails that tightrope-walk between forests and viewpoints—true “balconies,” just like the name suggests—without pretending you’re an alpinist… although you might find yourself looking up a lot because it’s that beautiful! 👀
Pick your adventure: 5 km to get into the vibe, 9 km for a great getaway, 28 km for the big loop, or the 28 km as a relay if you want to share the effort and the smiles (and save a bit of voice to tease your teammate) 🤝.
The guiding thread is simple: you move forward, you breathe, you fill your legs and your eyes, and you head home with that rare feeling of having traveled… without going far 🧭.
And after you finish, enjoy the area: go get some fresh air at the Col de Vence, stroll around downtown Grenoble, climb up to the Bastille (for the panorama, not to redo the race), or take a nature break at Parc Paul Mistral to recover at your own pace with an easy stroll as a couple or with family 🌿.
A next-gen platform helping sports enthusiasts of all levels discover territories and heritage through races tailored to them.
