Nice Côte d'Azur by UTMB®

Nice Côte d’Azur by UTMB

From the high mountains to the shores of the Mediterranean, the Nice Côte d'Azur by UTMB offers a spectacular journey between Alpine peaks and azure blue. The route sets off from the summits of the Mercantour, crossing wild forests, steep gorges and hilltop villages, before dropping down toward the coast.

The flagship race spans 165 kilometers and more than 8,400 meters of elevation gain, offering a wide variety of terrain—from the steep trails of the Prealps to panoramic ridgelines with a constant view of the sea. The adventure ends with a truly majestic finale: a gradual descent to the coast and a triumphant finish on the legendary Promenade des Anglais. Part of the UTMB World Series and offered across four distances (165 km, 115 km, 50 km and 20 km), the event brilliantly combines the raw character of the mountains with the charm of the Riviera.
