Xterra Trail Vallée de Joux 2027

Imagine a Swiss valley nestled between fir forests, pastures and a sparkling lake: welcome to L'Abbaye, in the Jura-Nord Vaudois, for the Xterra Trail Vallée de Joux! 🌲

Here, you choose your adventure: 7 km or 12 km to enjoy nature at a gentle pace, 22 km for a great playground, 36 km for a real mountain outing, or 58 km if you dream of a grand traverse. The youngest are not forgotten, with kids' and juniors' courses so the whole family can lace up their sneakers 👟.

On the trails, you alternate between soft paths, woodland and viewpoints that take your breath away. You move at the rhythm of nature, smiling, with your gaze drifting toward the horizon. In the Vallée de Joux, you truly have the Joux de vivre! ⛰️

Once you've crossed the line, don't rush off right away: the essentials are just steps from the start. Go sit by the Lac de Joux for a quiet stroll, or try kayaking with your family or as a couple 🛶.

Also stop by the former abbey church of L'Abbaye, which gave the village its name. Then follow the lake to Le Pont and the Lac Brenet for a drink on a terrace, your legs finally at rest.

And for a cultural break, head to Le Sentier and its Espace Horloger, because the valley is the cradle of precision watchmaking. You'll see that time is an art, even if you've mostly just tamed it ⌚.

So, ready to fill up on nature, effort and memories? Meet us on the starting line, the valley awaits you!
