If you’re looking for a trail that smells of forest and adventure, the Trail du Val Suzon in Messigny-et-Vantoux ticks every box 🌲.
Here, you’re on home turf right in the heart of nature, just a stone’s throw from Dijon, in this corner of Côte-d'Or where the trails make you forget the clock—and remind you above all why you like getting your shoes a little dirty 🧭.
You pick your menu depending on how you feel that day: 11 km to have fun without burning out, 25 km to really enjoy the terrain, 32 km to go looking for some grit, or 42 km to treat yourself to the big outing. And trust me, in the Val Suzon, “Suzon” quickly rhymes with “I want more”…! 😉
What gives the course its charm is the nature + undergrowth vibe: winding singletrack, cool shady stretches, playful pick-ups, and that little “expedition” feel without having to go to the other side of the world. You’re going to feast your eyes—on more than just the elevation gain 🍂.
And after the effort, go for a stroll through the historic center of Dijon and its little streets, climb the Philippe le Bon Tower for the view, stop to say hi to the owls on the Owl Trail, or settle in at Lac Kir for a break by the water. That’s the perfect combo to turn your race into a real weekend in Burgundy! 🏰
