"Why, the mountains are so beeaaautiful"</a>" 🏔️Like Jean Ferrat, we're taking you to the station of&nbsp;<a href="kavval://cities/49d3f267-9db4-4cf0-adbb-430bc49a9a89" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Val Thorens</a>, in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lesbelleville.fr" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">les Belleville</a>, for an 11th edition of the&nbsp;Val Tho Summit Games&nbsp;that will really get your thighs burning 💥. In the heart of&nbsp;<a href="kavval://level2AdminAreas/28215b67-61c9-47c2-bcfe-bbd09c365804" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Savoie</a>, this <a href="kavval://pages/a2cd3a56-c464-41aa-a8eb-f2fd63a34ca6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">August</a>&nbsp;appointment is the perfect cocktail to spice up your&nbsp;<a href="kavval://pages/19c6236d-b5b7-431a-87ba-e50b74dcd383" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">trail</a> 🌶️. It's here, in <a href="kavval://tags/dbe02603-5b14-47ba-99ef-861de39701bc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Europe's highest station</a>, that the expression “having your head in the clouds” truly takes on its meaning ☁️. We forget the heatwaves of the valleys to seek the coolness of the permafrost between&nbsp;1,850 m&nbsp;and&nbsp;3,000 m&nbsp;altitude 🏔️.In total, 7 distances await you 🥵. First, there's the&nbsp;VT Speed 3200&nbsp;with its&nbsp;1,000 mD+&nbsp;concentrated over only&nbsp;4.9 km, which&nbsp;establishes itself as the <a href="kavval://tags/27d8dfa2-2a2e-415b-acec-c22d59c7fd53" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">vertical kilometer</a> in its most direct form 👊. For beginners, the&nbsp;VT Trail Pursuit 10 km&nbsp;is the ideal <a href="kavval://pages/19c6236d-b5b7-431a-87ba-e50b74dcd383" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">discovery trail</a> to test yourself with an accessible elevation gain of&nbsp;500 mD+ 📈. Runners who like bursts will prefer the&nbsp;VT Trail Pursuit 20 km&nbsp;and its&nbsp;1,000 mD+, because between sharp ascents and technical descents, you navigate among different <a href="kavval://tags/adb74dc5-29c3-4ea1-b3b4-06871d93f6a6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lakes</a> for maximum <a href="kavval://tags/9aac2254-eb0d-4f02-a70e-ef56d14afd9d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">visual pleasure</a> 😍. The main event remains the&nbsp;VT Trail Pursuit 42 km&nbsp;which showcases&nbsp;2,200 mD+&nbsp;on a demanding course leading to the foot of the&nbsp;Péclet glacier&nbsp;while discovering the <a href="https://www.valthorens.com/randonnee/randonnee-pedestre-le-lac-blanc/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lac Blanc</a>, of <a href="https://www.alltrails.com/fr/poi/france/savoie/les-belleville/lac-de-thorens" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Thorens</a>, <a href="https://lesmenuires.com/fr/le-lac-du-lou" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">du Lou</a>, or even the <a href="https://lesmenuires.com/fr/promenade-du-plan-de-leau-des-bruyeres" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">plan d'eau des Bruyères</a> 🚣. This same epic adventure of&nbsp;<a href="kavval://pages/390ac20f-6103-4b2e-930e-b570ed852fb1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">42 km</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;2,200 mD+&nbsp;can be done in <a href="kavval://tags/bccc00b3-ad77-4231-bf64-84f7a4bbf33c" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">relay</a> to share the effort and maximize the pleasure in a <a href="kavval://tags/2c08d7a4-01ed-4c93-8721-a51476c06e0a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">team</a> of 4 on the station's most iconic course 🤝. The <a href="kavval://tags/1fc39264-8ba9-4528-aa43-b4d935b27bdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">future champions</a> also have their place with the&nbsp;VT Trail Kids&nbsp;which offers distances and elevation gains adapted to the young for their first challenges to gain confidence on the champions' trails 🧒. Finally, the&nbsp;VT Family Fun Walk&nbsp;of&nbsp;6 km&nbsp;offers a panoramic visit by lifts with more than 10 unique animation points for young and old 🤪. It's the guarantee of cascading smiles and unforgettable memories before tackling the Savoyard snacks for all participants 🥖.Here, the atmosphere is not just about performance; it's about sharing 🫂. We are at an event that is experienced intensely, whether you're a lone wolf seeking D+ on the&nbsp;VT Speed 3200&nbsp;or a team of 4 ready to impress on the&nbsp;VT Trail Pursuit 42&nbsp;in relay 4️⃣. The international station of Val Thorens goes all out to provide you with a sumptuous setting where effort becomes a permanent visual pleasure 🤩. Be warned, the courses sometimes skim the 3,000 meters altitude, which will likely leave you breathless 🥵.And then what? In summer, the <a href="kavval://tags/58c16ed9-f7c2-4d12-ae52-920f5f7428f3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mountains</a> of&nbsp;Val Thorens&nbsp;turn into epic hikes you will remember for a long time 🚠. Follow the <a href="https://www.valthorens.com/randonnee/sentier-pieton-de-la-montagnette-1/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Montagnette trail</a> from the village, guaranteed favorite 😍. "Ppfff I've already given enough, I don't feel like walking!" Ok, we have the solution ☝️. After your trail, your legs will beg you for a break 🙏. Head to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.valthorens.com/activites/le-board-val-thorens-centre-sportif/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Le Board</a>, the station's iconic sports center 💅. Between swimming pools, a wellness space (sauna, hammam, jacuzzi), and squash courts, it’s the ideal spot for pro-like recovery 🧖‍♂️.So, ready to tackle the demanding Tarentaise mountains? 🚀
