The ultimate nature event that everyone was waiting for: the Ultra-Trail Cรดte d’Azur Mercantour, starting from Nice at the Baie des Anges and finishing in Saint-Martin-Vรฉsubie.
It reflects the character of our region situated between the sea and the mountains, and continues the tradition of previous experiences, including the organization of the Challenge Trail Nature 06, as well as events like the first French Vertical Kilometer Championships on June 29, 2013, in partnership with the French Athletics Federation, and the first regional Trail Championships, “the Trails of the Vรฉsubie.”
Participants began their journey yesterday afternoon by the sea in Nice, the capital of the Cรดte d’Azur, and then followed the valleys of the Mercantour National Park, heading towards Saint-Martin-Vรฉsubie.
A unique setting for participants: a contrast of landscapes, a variety of villages crossed, and some high points, including the most spectacular: Mount Pรฉpoiri at 2,674 meters above sea level, from which you can see the Cรดte d’Azur in a 360ยฐ view and even Corsica in favorable weather!
The first participants are expected in Saint-Martin Vรฉsubie from Saturday starting at 4 PM.
