Looking for a race that makes you feel like you’re gaining altitude from the very first meters, with nature everywhere and a real taste of adventure in the Hautes-Alpes ⛰️.
The Ultra Trail de l’Obiou, in Saint-Étienne-en-Dévoluy, is the perfect combo: striking mountain scenery, crisp air, and that delicious feeling of being tiny in front of the massif… yet incredibly alive right before the start 🌲.
Two formats, two vibes: the 27 km if you want to treat yourself in intense mode with panoramas on repeat, and the 72 km if you feel like going big… or sharing it as a relay to turn the day into a crew adventure (and tell yourself that “together we make the Obiou”) 😉.
Here, you don’t come just to “run”: you come to travel at altitude, alternating tough moments with those instants when you surprise yourself by slowing down just to take in the view—because honestly, it would be a shame not to look up ✅.
And after the finish, you can keep the fun going without going far: go get a breath of fresh air on the Plateau de Bure, take a walk toward SuperDévoluy or La Joue du Loup for a well-deserved terrace, and if you want a “postcard” spot, swing by the Col du Noyer for panoramas that are absolutely worth the detour 🍻.
If you’re coming as a couple or with family, it’s easy to turn the weekend into a mini-trip: a gentle little hike, sunset on the ridgelines, a picnic facing the peaks… and everyone heads home with their own mountain memory 🌅.
In short, you come for a bib, you leave with your head full of images—and a stubborn urge to come back “just to see the Obiou again”… so, when do you sign? ✍️
