Trail des Ecoliers 2027

The Trail des Ecoliers is your perfect excuse to come play explorer in Champdieu, in the heart of the Loire, where the paths have as many stories as they do turns 🥾.

You pick your adventure: 7 km to treat yourself without burning out, 16 km to give yourself a truly beautiful full tour of the grounds, or 27 km to chase that smile that stings a little… but stays with you for a long time 😅.

Here, the terrain talks back: winding trails, views that open up when you least expect them, and that “village cheering you on” vibe that gives you a push right when you need it 👀.

And after the effort, stick around: go check out the Priory of Champdieu for a heritage break that calms things down, head over to Montbrison for a stroll and a seat on a café terrace, or make your way to Lake Vidrieux for a waterside walk in easy recovery mode 🏰.

If you’re coming as a duo or with the family, save some energy for a gentle walk in the Forez plain, or a simple, perfect sunset on the paths around the village—just to end the day with something other than a bib number on your mind 🌅.

You’ll run, yes, but above all travel just around the corner: in Champdieu, you learn fast… and you come back often.
