Le Trail des 3 Monts

Le Trail des 3 Monts begins in the hilltop village of Tourrette-Levens, situated in the hills behind Nice. This mountain trail race, organized by the association Dynamic Trail, centers on ascending three summits consecutively. Participants can tackle the entire course individually or as a relay team. The solo route spans just over a marathon at 42.39 km, featuring approximately 2,432 m of elevation gain and a similar amount of descent. The three named sections are Mont Chauve, Mont Macaron, and Mont Cima, making the race's structure clear despite its demanding nature. Mont Chauve is the longest segment at 17.49 km with 936 m of ascent. Mont Macaron follows with 14.62 km and 824 m of ascent, and Mont Cima concludes with 10.13 km and 655 m of ascent. The event also hosts children's races, contributing to a local club atmosphere rather than solely catering to seasoned mountain runners.
