Start: Saturday July 11th, 2026 at 9 am, from Piazza Abbé Henry, Courmayeur
Arrival: Courmayeur Parco del Bollino – Mont Blanc Trail Fest Village
ROUTE
The route, approximately 30 km long with an elevation gain of about 2,000 metres, winds along the scenic trails surrounding Courmayeur, mainly developing through the beautiful Val Ferret, at the foot of Mont Blanc.
The entire course is marked with blue flags, signs, and arrows to ensure clear and safe navigation for all participants.
The start takes place in Piazza Abbé Henry, in the historic centre of Courmayeur (1,224 m a.s.l.). After crossing the hamlet of La Saxe, the trail joins the climb leading to Rifugio Bertone (1,977 m a.s.l.), where the first refreshment point is located.
The magnificent Val Ferret balcony trail leads runners towards Rifugio Bonatti, offering another refreshment point, and continues into the Malatrà Valley, roughly halfway through the race.
From there, the course climbs the final two passes, Entre deux Sauts (2,524 m a.s.l.) and Col Sapin (2,435 m a.s.l.), before descending towards Curru, La Suche, and L’Ermitage, and finally reaching the finish line in Courmayeur, at the Parco del Bollino, the vibrant heart of the Mont Blanc Trail Fest Village.

Sections on paved roads are kept to a minimum and only on public roads where the route passes through built-up areas.
