Trans'Blanche

Immerse yourself in the snowy landscapes of Provence for the Trans'Blanche, an unforgettable race set against the backdrop of the Southern Alps. On January 31, 2027, runners will navigate through Selonnet and Seyne-les-Alpes, where winter transforms the usually dry hills into a pristine white wonderland. The course spans from Selonnet at 1,062 meters to the heights above Seyne, offering breathtaking views of towering peaks like Dormillouse (2,505 m) and Tête de l'Estrop (2,961 m).
Participants will traverse through a winter wonderland that includes Nordic trails around Le Fanget Pass and the snow-covered slopes near Grand Puy. The route is not just scenic but also challenging, with steep ascents to Chabanon resort at 1,612 meters and descents into alpine pastures blanketed in snow.
The race connects three winter sports sites that are rarely united: Chabanon, known for its ski runs; Le Fanget's Nordic trails; and the slopes of Grand Puy. Organized by Team Provence Endurance, this event offers both a full 25 km crossing and a shorter 16 km option starting from Selonnet.
Away from the race course, Seyne-les-Alpes invites visitors to explore its historic Vauban fort and learn about its rich mule breeding heritage. Meanwhile, in Selonnet, runners can visit an ancient castle tower that now serves as the village's bell tower, marking a trail leading to Grosse Pierre, an enormous erratic boulder left by glaciers.
Join the Trans'Blanche for a day where every step is a testament to resilience and beauty amidst nature’s frozen grandeur.
