The story

CIEL Ferney Trail in Ferney

The CIEL Ferney Trail is a trail running event linked to La Vallee de Ferney, a roughly 3,000-hectare nature reserve in southeastern Mauritius owned and managed by Ferney Limited, part of the CIEL Group conglomerate. The reserve, one of the island's last areas of endemic forest, offers established hiking and biking trails that plausibly form the basis for an organised trail race.

In the south of Mauritius, between mountain ridges and the coastal lagoon, lies La Vallee de Ferney, a nature reserve of roughly 3,000 hectares that protects one of the island's last remaining stretches of endemic forest.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

La Vallee de Ferney stands out among Mauritian natural sites for protecting one of the island's last significant tracts of endemic forest, habitat increasingly rare after centuries of sugar cultivation and development cleared most of Mauritius's original vegetation

02

The mystery stays covered

Its management by Ferney Limited, a subsidiary of the CIEL Group, one of Mauritius's largest business conglomerates, gives a trail event based there unusually strong institutional backing and access to genuinely protected, otherwise limited-access terrain rather than public land

03

The city starts moving

Running a race through active conservation land also connects the event to the reserve's stated eco-tourism and sustainability mission, giving it a different character from a purely recreational road or beach race
