This run is adventurous and varied—sections of cruisy single-track trail lead to rough, gnarly slopes. Cabane d’Orny is a remote refuge, nestled right next to the glacier it takes its name from. It offers impressive, high-mountain views and has been offering shelter to mountaineers since 1893.

Bonus KMs and Bailouts

The bonus kilometers offer big rewards, so try to include them if you have time!
Note that not every run has a bailout. But if a run does, we’ve included the download below.
