Odlo High Trail Vanoise

Ready to swap city greyness for a shot of pure oxygen at over 3,000 m? 🌲

Welcome to the Odlo High Trail Vanoise, where your calves meet the true mountains without requiring an Alpine mountaineering diploma 😬. Meet us in the heart of Savoie 📍, at the start of the charming village of Val d'Isère. Here, in summer, the " chic resort " vibe ✨ gives way to the gentleness of a genuine and welcoming village where everyone finds their stride 👟.

The lineup is generous and suited to all levels, from the “Petite Vanoise Charity" of 8 km and 280 mD+ to the more demanding challenge 💪. We’ve got six events in total, spread over an intense weekend in mid-July ☀️. For fans of big show, the main event of 67 km packs a solid 4 100 mD+ 📈. If you're after a more intermediate format, the "Trail des 5 Cols" offers 35 km for 2 550 mD+"Balcons" gives you 20 km and 1 150 mD+ of pure visual delight on the massif 🤩. We’ve got something for everyone: the children’s trail of 0,8 km and the youth trail of 1,25 km transform the snow front into a real talent cauldron for the next generation 🎉.

On the ground, you’ll get a true nature experience 🤩. If the routes of 35 km and 67 km will have you tasting slate and rock with no pine in sight 🪨, the whole event remains a magnificent entry point into high-altitude trail, even if you’re more used to urban parks 🏙️. If you’ve already seen Les Bronzés font du ski, know that summer in Val d'Isère is a lot calmer: we swap liqueur for fresh water 💦 and the "planting the pole" for a dynamic gait 🏃‍♂️. The highlight? The mythical crossing of the Col de l'Iseran, the highest road pass in the Alps ⬆️, before plunging into the surprising "tunnel des 3000", the culmination of your adventure 😎.

The vibe is mainly about simplicity and pushing yourself beyond your limits 🏋️‍♀️. No need to be glued to your watch throughout the race—enjoy the scenery and forget the performance ! 🤗 Between the enthusiasts with many trails under their belts and those finishing their first trail, the excitement is contagious 🚠. Val d'Isère in summer mode guarantees a festive weekend, full of positive vibes and shared memories 😇. If you have a bit of energy left after your event, don’t hesitate to test other mountain sports: MTB, via-ferrata, canyoning... There’s no shortage of activities! 🤪 You’ll get a nice afternoon spa after all that... with a view of the mountains ☝️. A delicious tartiflette with local reblochon will be waiting to round off the day 🤤.

So, shall we stop scrolling the peaks on Instagram and finally come and tread on them? 👊
