The event in a few words

Looking for a race with real character, panoramas that send your head straight into the clouds, and memories that’ll linger in your calves (in a good way)? The Megavalanche Trail in L’Alpe d’Huez is your larger-than-life nature rendezvous 🏔️.

On the menu: 21 km of pure enjoyment on trails that smell like the Isère, with that perfect blend of playful sections, wide-open spaces, and views so good you forget to check your watch (and that’s rare) 🌲.

Here, you’re not just coming to “run a race”—you’re coming to live an adventure: the air is fresher, the vibe is more mountain, and every turn gives you a great excuse to let out a not-so-subtle “wow” 😅.

And after the finish, you can keep the good times rolling without leaving the area: go relax at Lac Besson for a postcard-perfect break, take a detour through Alpe d’Huez and its viewpoints, or head down to Bourg-d’Oisans to chill on a terrace and relive your best moments (even the ones where you “kind of” had to negotiate with yourself) ☕.

Feel like sharing it as a duo or with the whole crew? Fresh-air stroll, picnic facing the mountains, a mellow little hike to loosen up… Here, you come to run, but you leave with a real mini-getaway in the Alps 🚲.
