12th and Final Edition: The End of a Great Adventure

On Sunday, February 19, 2023, the Ubaye Snow Trail Salomon held its 12th and final edition in Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye. Runners set off one last time from the Nordic area chalet to tackle the snowy courses of the high Ubaye valley, in a setting as magnificent as ever at the foot of the Brec de Chambeyron.

The 22 km Elite course with 1,010 m of positive elevation gain and the 9 km Discovery course with 250 m of elevation gain offered participants a final moment of snow trail running in this exceptional high mountain environment, between larch forests and immaculate alpine meadows.

After this edition, the Athletic Club Barcelonnette Ubaye announced the end of the event, citing the increasing burden of organization and financial imbalances. A relocation project to Pra Loup had been considered but was ultimately not pursued. The club chose to refocus on its core activities, bringing an end to twelve years of winter trail running that helped promote the Ubaye valley and the snow trail running discipline throughout France.
