Salomon Ubaye Trail

Description:

The summer event for the big names and those who are passionate about the discipline. In one of the most beautiful valleys of the Southern Alps, lulled by the Mediterranean sun, three trail courses, including a technical Elite course; demanding and engaging. Everyone has the choice of three routes – 12, 23 or 42 km loops starting from the centre of Barcelonnette. The Elite course 42 km event, for ladies and men, counts for classification in the Challenge Trails of Provence. A trail that, depending on altitude, smells of lavender and génépy, the scent of the woods and pastures, clean and crisp mountain air and the colours of vast mountain spaces and the Provencal sky. All the ingredients are there to allow your physical and technical potential to be fully expressed and take you to the highest peaks of the Ubaye Valley, under the eye of intrigued marmots, chamois and ibex. The event counts for the Challenge Trails of Provence, UTMB qualifier race (1 point).
