Trail running

With more than 400,000 practitioners and over 2,000 events each year in France, trail running is attracting more and more enthusiasts. Isère is recognised as an ideal destination for the sport.

Since the creation of the first trail running resort in Chartreuse in 2011, today the department of Isère has 5 of these resorts.

More than twenty events are scheduled there during the summer season.
 

A Trail Station is made up of several tools:

• A dozen marked trails for all levels (green, blue, red or black), and trail workshops with free access
• The Stations de Trail mobile app to guide you on the trails. Free and available on Apple and Androïd, the mobile app Stations de Trail is like a real virtual practice companion!
• A reception area to get information, train, prepare and relax
• A program of training courses and trail races throughout the year, for all levels
