Trail des Gets by Rossignol

The Trail des Gets takes trail runners through the heart of the Portes du Soleil, a region famed for its alpine beauty and year-round outdoor activities. Starting from the mountain village of Les Gets—known for its world-class trails, traditional chalets, and the fascinating Mechanical Music Museum—this event challenges participants with its varied terrain and sweeping panoramas of the Alps.

The highlight of this series of races is the Tour des Hauts-Forts, a demanding 43-kilometer course with 2,273 meters of elevation gain that takes runners across rugged ridgelines, along forested paths, and up steep climbs, finally rewarding them with sweeping views of Mont Blanc and the surrounding peaks. The Trail des Gets 20.5 kilometer event offers a mid-distance challenge with 1,050 meters of ascent, weaving through alpine meadows and with technical descents. For those seeking a shorter race, the Trail des Gets 10.5 kilometer race has 500 meters of elevation gain, providing a fast and scenic route ideal for trail runners looking for a shorter day out. 

With its diverse race offerings, technical challenges, and stunning setting, the Trail des Gets offers mountain running enthusiasts some wonderful trails in the French Alps.
