KV Challenge

Trail No. 15, the KV Feliceto San Parteo, starting from Feliceto, is a challenging route reserved forexperienced trail runners. Stretching 5.85 km, this vertical kilometre features an impressive ascent with approximately 1,350 m of elevation gain, rising from 388 m to 1,678 m in altitude to the summit of San Parteo. This rugged and technical climb follows mountain trails and includes a particularly steep section with a gradient exceeding 30 per cent over nearly one kilometre halfway along the route. The effort is rewarded with a spectacular 360° view of the Balagne and the sea. Depending on your pace, the ascent takes between 1 hour 35 minutes and 3 hours 10 minutes. Returning via the same route is strongly discouraged: it is preferable to take one of the three signposted alternative routes provided for the descent to ensure the safety of walkers.

To make this experience even more intense, new trail markers have been installed, allowing you to time your performance and push yourself further with every stride. It’s a challenge that can be tackled in several ways. Some come to tackle the KV with a time target in mind, aiming to maintain a steady pace all the way to the summit. Others opt for a more relaxed pace, taking the time to enjoy the climb, the views and the effort itself.
