Seven valleys, 71 glaciers, 400 summits...
The Mont Blanc range is fascinating.

Doing the Tour du Mont Blanc, allows one to discover an incomparable universe, the impressive and magical high mountains; it is sharing the eternal dream of the pioneers, crossing the magical gardens of Gaston Rebuffat and the stories of Roger Frison Roche and discovering the intimate geography of the summits: the roundness of the Mont-Blanc, the ridge of Bionnassay, the Noire de Peuterey, the Dent du Géant, the wall of the Grandes-Jorasses, the northern and southern peaks of the Aiguille du Tour,  the Aiguille Verte, the vertical of the Drus.

"It's a real outpouring of granite peaks, of high crystalline summits, where erosion of an exceptional intensity has cut out, sawn, sliced up, broken, smashed the imposing upheaval of ancient rocks, revealing a landscape of exceptional beauty." (Roger Frison-Roche, guide-writer.)

The North Face® Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc® invites you to live an adventure out of the ordinary by participating to one of the 4 races that we offer :

• UTMB® (Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc®) - The queen of races

Since the first event, it has been called the ‘race of all the superlatives’. With 166 km and 9,400 m of positive height gain to be completed in a maximum of 46 hours, the UTMB® is your favourite race, a complete tour of Mont-Blanc, and one that each ‘ultra’ runner must finish once in their lives.

• CCC® (Courmayeur-Champex-Chamonix) - The way in

The CCC® is considered by the majority of runners as the ‘petite’. All the same, it is also one of the most difficult ultra-trail challenges in France with 98 km and 5,600m of positive height gain, to be finished in less then 26 hours. Do not take the CCC® lightly; more than one runner has had burning thighs.

• TDS (Sur les Traces des Ducs de Savoie) - The wild alternative

Wilder than the two previous events and in the opposite direction, the TDS leaves from Courmayeur to arrive in Chamonix a long a route of 111 km, 6,600m of positive height gain and to be completed in less than 31 hours. A relatively unusual view of the perimeters of the Mont-Blanc and Beaufort landscapes.

• PTL (Petite Trotte à Léon) - A great team adventure

strikingly beautiful event, whose route continually overhangs the route of the UTMB®, including high, steep sections. If you like solitude, solidarity and have a sense of adventure, it is that which will inspire you to register for this event. 240 km, 18,000m of positive height gain with, this year, the possibility of entering as a team of 2.

This event is the outcome of a long life dream and a passion for Ultra-Trail®, shared by an increasing number of runners from the whole world. Its realization is possible thanks to the friendship that links the population of the French, Italian and Swiss municipalities of the pays du Mont-Blanc.
