Running

Renowned for its à la carte trail concept, the Ut4M offers with the 40 Series, four races which offer immersion in each ultra massif. As you can imagine, the shorter the distance, the faster people go. But this trace will allow you to scout at your own pace.

The Ut4M 40 Vercors explores the trails of the eponymous massif. This public route covers almost 40 kilometers punctuated by approximately 2,400 meters of elevation gain.

It is an invitation to immerse yourself in the emblematic landscapes of the Vercors: cross the maquis, run through green pastures, climb the high plateaus, and brush past breathtaking limestone cliffs, particularly at the legendary Col de l 'Bow.

The start is given in Seyssins, where the route quickly gains height towards Saint-Nizier and Moucherotte. From the ridges, the views of the Vercors plateau are impressive. You continue with a climb to Pic Saint-Michel, where a long winding descent begins towards Saint-Paul de Varces. The trail ends in Vif, after having conquered the Uriol mountain.

Saint-Nizier-du-Moucherotte

Highlight • Settlement

A quaint market town, St-Nizier-du-Moucherotte is one of the four towns in the magnificent Vercors region, on two mountain plateaus.

Like many in this region, the town comes alive both in the winter as a popular skiing destination, and in the summer with hikers and cyclists.

The Moucherotte Summit

Highlight • Summit

Hello Komootians! I am pleased to inform you that a year ago my friend (Paulo) and myself (Marco) repaired the bench at the top of Moucherotte (under the orientation table, east side). And we signed our work. We invite you to go and check on the spot while taking full advantage of the beautiful and vast panorama that you have when you sit on this bench... A+
PS: we suggest that you climb Moucherotte by its eastern side, stopping at the Vallier cave on the way.
