Trail of the Seine Balconies 2026

As soon as you arrive at La Roche-Guyon, perched on the cliffs overlooking the Seine, you understand why the Trail of the Seine Balconies has that little extra something 👟. This nature race in the month of May invites trail runners and outdoor enthusiasts to traverse beautiful paths in Val-d'Oise (Île-de-France), between forests, vistas of the valley, and balcony paths. Whether you’re seeking an enjoyable outing, a more intense challenge, or simply a beautiful day of sport in nature, this trail offers you a playground rich in reliefs and sensations. The local organization hosts the event with a true community and friendly spirit, in a setting that makes you want to forget the clock to savor each part of the path.

The routes are varied and well thought out to satisfy all levels, from the gentle 10 km to the more demanding 55 km, with significant positive elevation gain in each format 💪. The routes primarily use natural trails, alternating plains, woods, and spectacular viewpoints over the river below, giving each distance character and rhythm. Solid and liquid refreshments punctuate the longer races, while all runners find water and energy at the finish.

What really sets the Trail of the Seine Balconies apart is its unique setting, perched between the meanders of the Seine and the panoramas of the French Vexin 🌿. Running here combines exertion with the contemplation of changing landscapes, from undergrowths to natural belvederes that dominate the valley. It is a trail that not only makes you run but also lets you discover a region with its natural wealth and unique heritage. Athlé
