Trail de la ratapignata - Falicon 2026

Trail de la Ratapignata is a nature trail race held in Falicon, a village in the Alpes-Maritimes above Nice. It takes place in October. The name originates from the Ratapignata cave, and the event emphasizes its local cave-and-stone environment, distinguishing it from a road race with some unpaved sections. The main race covers 21 km with 1,300 metres of elevation gain, characterizing it as a short, steep mountain trail rather than a gentle countryside run. The organizer's description, “between sky, stones, and legend,” accurately reflects the event: participants encounter rocky ground, significant vertical challenges, and a course deeply connected to Falicon's cave legends.
