Valberg snow trail - Guillaumes 2027

The Valberg Snow Trail is a winter trail event held in Guillaumes, within the Valberg area of France's Alpes-Maritimes. This night race on snow typically occurs around the New Year, offering both trail running and walking options. The primary course spans approximately 9 to 9.4 km with an elevation gain of about 400 meters, presenting a short but challenging ascent. A very brief 0.6 km option is also available, contributing to the event's accessible, community-focused atmosphere. The course navigates the natural landscape surrounding Valberg, with participants setting off after sunset into cold mountain conditions, distinct from a typical road race circuit. Recent participation hovered just below 200 individuals, indicating a modest field that likely comprises local participants, walkers, and newcomers to winter trail running. The listed entry fees are modest, with the 9.4 km race costing 12 EUR and an alternative option at 5 EUR.
