Odlo High Trail Vanoise 2026

Here, no skiing or walking but the HIGHHH TRAILLLLLL!

Come join hundreds of runners for the hottest, craziest, and highest trail of Val d’Isère in Savoie in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The ski village welcomes you for its High Trail Vanoise (HTV for those in the know). This exceptional race takes place in July, and the weather should be good ☀️. The event offers you 5 races, to choose from: the charitable 8 km La petite Vanoise course, the 20 km Balcons, the Trail of the 5 Cols, and the mythical High Trail Vanoise ⛰️.

All starts will take place in the village of Val d’Isère through races that will let you discover the valleys of the Alps. The scenery will be incredibly beautiful, we guarantee it! If you do the 70 km, you'll have the chance to see the sunrise behind the mountains 🌄. And we promise: it's "MAGNIFAÏK” as Christina Cordula would say. You'll climb some rather challenging elevation gains (if we may say so) toward the snow-covered peaks of Val d’Isère ❄️. Yes, even in July, it's crazy isn't it! You might even see the Mont Blaaaaaaaaaanc from afar. But be careful not to be too amazed by this magnificent mountain and its picturesque landscapes, because a fall from a peak might turn you into a snowball ☃️! Finally, you'll descend back to the village of Val d’Isère where you will victoriously cross the finish line. 🏁

After the effort, (and what an effort!) the reward 😍! Val d’Isère is full of local specialties like the famous Savoyard fondue. If you're still up for it, we suggest you go for a stroll in this charming village to discover the small typical chalets of the region. You’re not very far from Italy, so why not a little escape to the Dolce vita?

So? Ready to push your limits to the highest? 💪
