10 km / 430m D+ climb

Sunday, July 27, 2025

Sports trail

Around the villages

For this young race format, open from the Cadet category and introduced to the Vars Moutain Trail program last year, the course starts at Vars Sainte-Marie and climbs directly to the lieu-dit du Château on the heights of the village of Saint-Marcellin. The climb is short but steep, before returning to Sainte-Catherine via a magnificent balcony single with a breathtaking view of the Eyssina, Vars’ emblematic mountain. The loop ends with a descent to the Pont de la Salce and its waterfalls before arriving at the village of Sainte-Marie. Ready for the challenge?

La foulée du château is part of the 3 formats challenge.
