Events calendar Rhônes-Alpes

See the city as you've never seen it before! The urban trail was invented in Lyon, a style of running that has spread to other cities, which have become, for a weekend, special running grounds. With its marked relief (we are talking about a difference in altitude of 1,400 m and 6,000 steps for the 37 km, the main event reserved for a maximum of 1,000 runners), Lyon is the ideal city to welcome the best trailers and beginners (from the 8 km to the 37 km, without forgetting the 12 km rando). Always the same advice: register early (as early as December for a spring edition), because the participants are jostling each other at the starting gate.

The Trail du Laudon offers a festive atmosphere, breathtaking courses and total immersion in nature. Between the mountains of Entrevernes and Semnoz, discover magnificent views over Lake Annecy. For walkers, trail runners and children, there's something for everyone. The Marche du Laudon, Trail des Charmettes, Trail de la Bauche and Trail de la Cochette await you on April 30. New: the Trail des Minis, an event for younger runners, on Saturday April 29 at 5pm.

More than just a snowshoe hike, Passe Montagne is a festive and convivial event not to be missed.

It's not a newcomer, having been launched in 2010, but it's certainly the latest festival to make its mark in a city that also looks to the mountains. With over 40,000 festival-goers at its last edition, the High Five Festival happily mixes skiing, cinema and partying (because a festival without concerts isn't cool). So, head to the lakeside "village" to watch and take part in snow sports demos, before settling into an open-air deckchair to watch one of the snow sports films on the big screen. Booths featuring top brands and new products, entertainment... A festival for riders of all kinds.
