The route winds along the trails of Courmayeur and Pré-Saint-Didier, covering approximately 55 km with a positive elevation gain of about 3500 meters, primarily through the scenic Val Veny.
The race starts at 7:00 AM from Piazza Abbé Henry in the historic center of Courmayeur (1224 m a.s.l.), heading toward Dolonne and Fonte Vittoria before taking the trail to Champex in Pré-Saint-Didier.
From the spa town, the path leads to the walkway over the gorge and the adventure park, climbing toward the entrance of the Plan Praz valley. A gentle trail then brings runners to the first refreshment point at the Youlaz huts (2047 m a.s.l.).
Following part of the legendary Tor des Géants® in reverse, the route reaches the Youlaz valley (refreshment point at 2047 m a.s.l.), then the panoramic Colle dell’Arp (2572 m a.s.l.), Colle di Youlaz (2661 m a.s.l.), and the race’s highest point below Mont Nix (2830 m a.s.l.).
A long traverse leads to Colle du Berrio Blanc (2818 m a.s.l.) and Mont Fortin (2755 m a.s.l.), with a mobile bivouac transported by helicopter serving as a refreshment point.
Skirting alpine lakes, the trail descends toward Col Chavanne (2598 m a.s.l.), Col de la Seigne (2510 m a.s.l.), and the casermette (2290 m a.s.l.), reaching the refreshment point at Lago Combal (1952 m a.s.l.).
Following the Tour du Mont Blanc route, runners climb to Arp Vieille (2303 m a.s.l.), skirt Lago Checrouit (2151 m a.s.l.), and arrive at the Maison Vieille Refuge (1952 m a.s.l.), another refreshment point.
After ascending to Courba Dzeleuna (2048 m a.s.l.), the route descends to Plan Checrouit before reaching the finish line in Courmayeur (Parco del Bollino) – Mont Blanc Trail Fest Village.
The maximum time allowed for the race is 18 hours. The trail is highly technical with considerable differences in altitude, exposed sections and the possibility of snowfields, but is run entirely along classified hiking paths.
Sections on paved roads are kept to a minimum and only on public roads where the route passes through built-up areas.
There are several rescue points and refreshment points along the route. Before leaving a refreshment point, runners must ensure they have enough food and water to last them until the next one.
