ROUTE<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

The route, approximately <\/span>100 km<\/strong> long with an elevation gain of about <\/span>7,400 metres<\/strong>, winds along the spectacular mountain trails connecting <\/span>Courmayeur, Pr\u00e9-Saint-Didier<\/strong>, and <\/span>La Thuile<\/strong>, crossing the stunning <\/span>Val Veny<\/strong> and <\/span>Val Ferret<\/strong>, at the foot of Mont Blanc.<\/span><\/p>\n

The entire course is <\/span>marked with red flags<\/strong>, signs, and arrows to ensure clear and safe navigation for all participants.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The start takes place in <\/span>Piazza Abb\u00e9 Henry<\/strong>, in the historic centre of Courmayeur (1,224 m a.s.l.). After passing through <\/span>Dolonne<\/strong> and the <\/span>Fonti Vittoria<\/strong>, the trail climbs towards <\/span>Champex<\/strong>, <\/span>Pr\u00e9-Saint-Didier<\/strong>. From there, skirting the local swimming pool, it continues past the old quarries to reach the charming village of <\/span>Arpy<\/strong>, where runners will find the first refreshment point at the hostel.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The ascent to the <\/span>Colle della Croce<\/strong> leads to a scenic section heading towards the <\/span>Rifugio Deffeyes<\/strong> (2,500 m a.s.l.), <\/span>before which a very short section equipped with chains is encountered<\/strong>. A <\/span>refreshment point<\/strong> awaits runners at the refuge. From there begins the <\/span>long descent to La Thuile<\/strong>, passing the <\/span>Rutor\u2019s waterfalls<\/strong> and reaching <\/span>Arly<\/strong> (1,450 m a.s.l.), roughly one third of the route.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Retracing part of the legendary <\/span>Tor des G\u00e9ants\u00ae<\/strong>, the course reaches the <\/span>Youlaz Valley<\/strong> (refreshment point at 2,047 m a.s.l.), then climbs over the panoramic <\/span>Colle dell\u2019Arp<\/strong> (2,572 m a.s.l.), <\/span>Colle di Youlaz<\/strong> (2,661 m a.s.l.) and the <\/span>highest point of the race<\/strong>, just below <\/span>Mont Nix<\/strong> (2,830 m a.s.l.).<\/span><\/p>\n

A long traverse leads to <\/span>Col du Berrio Blanc<\/strong> (2,818 m a.s.l.) and <\/span>Mont Fortin<\/strong> (2,755 m a.s.l.), where an airlifted mobile bivouac serves as a refreshment point.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The descent continues past beautiful <\/span>alpine lakes<\/strong>, towards <\/span>Col Chavanne<\/strong> (2,598 m a.s.l.), <\/span>Col de la Seigne<\/strong> (2,510 m a.s.l.), and the <\/span>Casermette<\/strong> (2,290 m a.s.l.), reaching the <\/span>Lago Combal<\/strong> refreshment point (1,952 m a.s.l.).<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the <\/span>Tour du Mont Blanc<\/strong> trail, the route climbs to <\/span>Arp Vieille<\/strong> (2,303 m a.s.l.), passes <\/span>Lago Checrouit<\/strong> (2,151 m a.s.l.), and reaches <\/span>Rifugio Maison Vieille<\/strong> (1,952 m a.s.l.), where another refreshment awaits.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

After reaching the entrance to <\/span>Val Veny<\/strong> and crossing the sandy area, the ascent begins towards the <\/span>Pavillon du Mont Fr\u00e9ty<\/strong>, which hosts the <\/span>life base<\/strong> at the mid-station of the <\/span>Skyway Monte Bianco<\/strong> cable car. An old trail then descends to <\/span>La Palud<\/strong>; after crossing the bridge, the route continues along the panoramic balcony of <\/span>Val Ferret<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The majestic <\/span>Val Ferret<\/strong> guides runners to the <\/span>Rifugio Bonatti<\/strong> refreshment point and into the <\/span>Malatr\u00e0 Valley<\/strong>, roughly halfway through the race.<\/span><\/p>\n

From there, the final two passes, <\/span>Entre deux Sauts<\/strong> (2,524 m a.s.l.) and <\/span>Col Sapin<\/strong> (2,435 m a.s.l.), lead into the last descent towards <\/span>Curru<\/strong>, <\/span>La Suche<\/strong>, and <\/span>L\u2019Ermitage<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The triumphant finish line awaits in <\/span>Courmayeur<\/strong>, at the <\/span>Parco del Bollino<\/strong>, the vibrant heart of the <\/span>Mont Blanc Trail Fest Village<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n
