Oisans Trail Tour

The Ecrins National Park in the southern French Alps is a land of high peaks, deep valleys, glaciers and untamed beauty. It is wilder than most of the well-known Alpine areas and has qualified for the European Diploma of Protected Areas. The races all take part in the National Park. Both the 91km and 42km race start in the famous ski resort town of Alpe d’Huez and start with a climb up to Signal de Villard. Both courses follow a similar route until the 35km mark where the 91km route heads off east on a dogleg to the Col du Souchet. If the 91km or 42km don’t entice you then why not take part in the pleasant 23km route and enjoy cheering-on the other runners coming in after you’re done! There are also children’s races and a 9km women’s trail on Friday.
